Glass Bottles: Upcycled & Repurposed As Home Decor


Glass bottles - whether milk bottles, wine bottles, beer bottles, either new or old - whether recycled into one of the clever ideas shown below or just simply displayed on a sunny window sill - are one item that has stood the test of time and are still very much popular in home decorating. 

 Take a look below at these photos of what some creative and innovative folks have done with bottles and I think you'll agree!

  2. I love old bottles. I have tons of antique ones.

    I usually make terrariums, but some of the planters look so great! I'll have to try some of these ideas.

  5. WOW the creativity is amazing.

    It's hard to pick a favorite. But I do love the blue bottle tree.

    I recycle my used bottles...rather than reuse them.

  15. These are all really fabulous and fun ideas! I was going to start small and make a hand soap dispenser. Since it will be around water, I think sealing the label might be a good idea. What kind of product would I use to seal the label? Thanks, Karen

  17. I'm new to your blog and I love these ideas. We use wine bottles for a lot of our decor, but there are some unique ideas here for other things as well. Love the Jack Daniels soap dispenser or rather I should say my hubby would get a kick out of it. Oh and the beer bottle chandelier is great. Never have seen one but what a great idea :-)

    Thanks,
    Liz
