After visiting the El Dorado Hotel in Sonoma, California, I was inspired by the stunning, modern lobby and empty green vases placed on shelves as decor accents.
I wanted to create something for my floating white shelves at home, so I created the same type of vases, but for a good price. I would need quite a few vases to fill my shelves at home, and the Dollar Store seemed like a great option for finding plain, inexpensive glass vases. Lo and behold, they had several to choose from; I was thrilled. With a little enamel paint, paper towels and some paintbrushes, I was able to recreate the glass vases and in the color I wanted, too!
