Repurposing: a decanter into a vase
Posted on April 18th, 2009 4 commentsMy friend from The Nature Hogg and her husband came over for dinner on Friday night and brought me these daffodils from the garden. I lack a simple vase for holding just a few flowers. I did, however, discover that a decanter does a lovely job of showing off a few stems. To me, this is an example of how we can repurpose items in our home instead of buying new.


Have you recently repurposed an item in your home?

Looks perfect!
A daffodil is such an intricate flower that a simple vessel is the best to showcase it. If you think about those same floweras in cut crystal, the vase takes away from the flowers.I also find that a tall beer glass does the trick too. I have some lovely greek-style beer glasses and it’s nice to use them for something else.

Glass containers are great for repurposing because a quick wash and they can be used for anything. I use them alot for storage of my bulk grains and spices. I even have old jars holding candles and old cups and mugs holding silverware.
