Little Aqua Vase

As much as I love fresh flowers, it seems I’m always putting them in clear glass vases.  I don’t know why it hadn’t occurred to me to use a colored or more interesting vase before.   A while back, I was drawn to this little aqua vase from Crate & Barrel that I usually keep in my home office.  It has a small neck, perfect for just a couple of stems.

And I thought the aqua was pretty with some yellow flowers. 
And even my bathroom counter looks cheerier with the pop of color. 

So excited about all the possibilities- especially with what a quick coat of spray paint can do to transform my boring clear vases!  Maybe a weekend project?!

  1. Love your little blue vase! I don't have many colored ones, may have to find the one at Ikea that Carol-Anne mentioned. The giveaway is adorable and great for restaurant trips with the kids. My friend and I made 20 of these to give as party favors for her daughter's 3rd birthday. They were a big hit!

  2. Hi. Don't spray paint your clear vases, better to go to a craft store, they have an etching agent that you swirl around in the vase, then you pick a special enamel paint- they have all colors and swirl that paint inside and dump the excess out. Looks more like a milk glass or like the beautiful votives from glassbaby. It was featured in a Martha Stewart years ago. The materials are not very expensive at all. Check into it, you will love!

  3. Those are sweet. I need to get some as I use mason jars and they require too many flowers! Starting spending a bit more than I wanted to on flowers. I like that these hold just a couple stems as you said.

  4. So pretty, Megan. It's a perfect size for just a few stems. I love having fresh flowers in the house. A nice pick me up!
