Decorating with bottles and jars.
You can add intrigue to your home quite easily just by adding a few lovely accessories. So many times it’s those items we already have lying around our home that we pay no attention to that can be converted into beautiful objects. Glass objects for instance can be made interesting with just a few tweaks, they can even become a focal point of your space if you so desire. The wonderful thing about glass is that they come cheap (from all those used jam jars maybe), recyclable and readily available. Below are some ideas for you.

In this traditional bathroom design by Jennifer Brouwer, beautiful glass jars are used to hold cotton wools, bar salt and i have no idea what else besides the flowers, but you can store bar soap, cotton bud etc in your’s.
