I really don't like beer but I loved the bottle!

My brother in law was in town this weekend and we love to show off Down Town Fort Collins to our guests. The New Belgium Brewery is a great place to relax and enjoy some good beer. The problem is I don't enjoy beer but I enjoyed the atmosphere of community that the brewery provides. I also heard the tour is amazing.  I saw this bottle and loved it! I asked the cashier if I could buy one without beer in it and he said, "What will you use it for?" I think it is a great vase:)

1. I loved the bike logo on it! (My husband races bikes and I just enjoy riding them)
2. I loved the vintage brown color
3. I loved the $4 price

So here was my weekend buy for $4 for our entry way table:)

Going Green Indoors with Plants!

I got inspired today thanks to The Inspired Room about displaying plants in my house. I went to Home Depot and spent $10 on 3 indoor plants. I used vases I already had at home. Here is what I came up with!

The vase was only $8 from Anthropologie!

I put an Ikea $1.99 vase in a decorative glass pail holder that I got for my birthday this year! Now I can enjoy the outdoors while being indoors:)

This vase was actually free! It was an Edible Fruit Arrangement vase we received as a gift. I added books with the covers off and a backgammon game to give the plant height.

What do you think?
