This little light of mine...

I knew when I wrote the last blog that it would be a part one of two... there is an abundance of ideas on decorating with vintage glass.  The last blog I focused on garden decor... this one will focus on interior and lighting.  Again, all of these photos were ideas found on pinterest... it really is a great site to get inspiration to decorate outside of the box...

Small bottles can be used everywhere in vignettes in your home... singular or in a grouping,,,  I love this setting with votive candles on a mirror... it's romantic and down home country... and it's easy for anyone to do.  Put a few on your windowsill in your bathroom or kitchen... the light catches the colors of the bottles and the flowers just say "this place is loved"...

If you have one of those weird built in small openings in your home... in some homes these are in kitchens or bathrooms... in other, much older homes you'll find them where we used to have phone alcoves in our houses... when you had to run to a wall to answer your phone and couldn't go any further than the length of the handset cord...  virtually no one other than me now a days has one of these phones hanging in their homes... so what do you do if you have that wall space?  Find a grouping of similar colored small bottles and brighten the area up.

If you're a candle lover and the first idea above wasn't eclectic enough for you, what about this transformation of insulators.  What a cool idea is that?  Place them upside down on a piece of stained reclaimed wood and instant candelabra.  Add to the base pine in the winter and fresh greens in the spring...  I could see Easter eggs among the greenery too...  Or if you just want a splash of color in a room you can take a vintage board, paint it your favorite color, and then attach an insulator to it upside down.  Instant votive or tea light (less mess) holder!

If you're looking for electric ideas, check out these ball jars converted into pendant lights.  Love this idea!!!  Or even more out of the box... the pendant light insulators!!!  Would look fabulous over a bar or pool table.  If you're looking for just the right single light sconces for your head board how about using a vintage insulator in your favorite color?  It's all about having something in your home that the rest of the world doesn't.  Use a vintage door for a head board... or ship-lap.... add two of these beauties and you'll have a space that is warm and charming.

I'm going to point out one more cool idea I found when I was searching for up-cycle ideas...  A coat rack made out of vintage wood and insulators.  If I had a mud room I'd TOTALLY do this!  Or maybe in a childs room with the colorful insulators...

For now, it's late.  I wish you all a lovely work week.  Come see us soon at the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta!
