Happy Hour : Spring Vases


Have you noticed? White vases are suddenly everywhere. Springtime fresh, white vases bring a modern, crisp look to any room. And, they're easy to find - you'll see in dollar stores and IKEA. You can even make them yourself but more of that in a minute. First, let's look at how great they can look in any room.

Thanks to Jennifer for bringing this springtime look to my attention. Here's her amazing spring mantel - white pots filled with plants from Trader Joe's.

Now for the fun. For this Happy Hour, grab a can of white spray paint to create your own white vases.
