bathroom catch all
In the bathroom there are all sorts of small items that just need a home. I love to use these vintage vases as a bathroom catch all organizers. They work perfect of Q-tips, hair accessories, faux plants, tooth brushes, toothpaste, brushes and combs.
faux plant planter
Vintage vases are great homes for faux plants. I love to use the white milk glass pedestal vases. The green plants really pop against the white milk glass.
pencil holder
Are your pens, pencils and markers shoved in a drawer somewhere? Use a vintage vase. This will add a great decorative touch to your desk, plus keep all your writing mediums close at hand.
candleholder
Yes, they can be used as candleholders. The compotes work great for pillar candles when you turn the upside down and use the base for the candle. Tall milk glass bud vases have just the right size hole for a taper candle. Varying the sizes and types of candle holders gives your display a nice rounded look.
