STORYBOOK INSPIRATION:
THEME:
Decorate your kitchen and bedroom or bathroom vanity with magical, witchy looking vials, jars, containers, decanters and urns. Keep herbs, flours, spices and mysterious odd items in your kitchen jars; store cosmetics, home fragrance oils and perfumes in the containers you keep in the bathroom or bedroom. Present a mysterious air of darkness and witchiness to visitors to your elegant, yet slightly disturbing home.
Not just any container will do. They should be interesting, a dark color if possible, a different shape. Often it's difficult to find anything other than plain functional clear jars and vials in the shops. eBay of course is a great resource for odd and unusual antique glass containers.
