New love: recycled glass anything. It's not so new, but still a great idea! Number one, Btown's all about recycling. Number two, it looks gorgeous. It all started with the
tall floor vase for the front room, and then I bought
another piece for a Christmas decoration project.
Here are a few of the more interesting examples I've found:

West Elm has these Spanish glass vases (literally from Spain) in beautiful colors that aren't your typical green and brown.

Pier 1 - on sale!

Functional! Our training buddy, Anneke, loved this for displaying
her vintage hats OR to transform into a lamp. Photo: Pier1.com |

With recycled glass tiles, you have an infinite number of colors to choose from.
Backsplashes and tiles are usually around $12+/sf. Photo: calfinder.com

Chandeliers or lighting fixtures using bottles have to be done
and placed just right to avoid tacky. Picture from potterybarn.com. |
So with this inspiration, someday I'm going to figure out how to use those cases of wine bottles from the training group party. Here's one creative - and classy - idea from a fellow blogger: wine bottle candlesticks! She even includes
detailed instructions on how to make them, with a few other good ideas for using empty bottles. I'll add this one to my to-do list.
And since nearly everyone's thought it but never actually mustered up the motivation to do it, the wine bottle lamp. See Remodelista's blog for completely
100% detailed instructions - finally! I'm glad
someone finally wrote this down!
