Decorating with bottles

One of my favorite things to collect are glass bottles.

As you may have notice, I tend to decorate with them quite a bit.

I think my collection of bottles lend a relaxed, no-fuss beachy vibe to my decorating.

Here I have placed my collection of bottles along my mantle.

Each bottle has a different story to tell; whether I picked it up at an antique store, found it washed up on the beach, or was given to me by someone wanting to add to my collection.

 I love them all!

My newest addition is the beautiful turquoise one.  It was a gift from some of my loved ones.

Along with my glass bottles, I have also displayed a few glass vases and tall white candles.

And then to add a little bit of texture, I wrapped rope around the neck of one of the bottles.

I just love the variety of sea-glass colors.  

Which some of them have actually come from the sea.

I think the bottles tie in perfectly with the rest of the room.

What type of things do you enjoy collecting?

Thank you for stopping by,
