Wall Vases: Another Way To Display Weekly Flowers

101508-wallvases01.jpgAs we mentioned yesterday, this week, the first week of the Fall Cure, we're encouraging our Curees to buy flowers to decorate their homes. While a vase on a table, a nightstand or in the entryway is one way of incorporating flowers into your decor, we loved the wall vases Vanessa uses throughout her home...

 
 

101408-wallvases02.jpgWhile we've always considered them, we've rarely seen them in play and we've decided we like this subtle way of bringing in flowers. Rather than having them as the centerpiece or the main event, when they're placed on the wall, they're decorative, almost like three dimensional art. It's definitely something we're thinking about for our bathroom because, although we love to have flowers there, the counter space is limited, our posies often in danger of being swept to the floor in a shower of broken glass by an errant gesture.

This would be great to have if your cats like to eat your flowers and break your vases. Where can I get some like these?

Never mind she said in the house tour that they are from Pottery Barn.

If anyone could be so kind as to point me in the direction of the actual product name, it would be super appreciated! Trying to track down great little items like this is almost impossible from abroad, especially when I can't even find these on the Pottery Barn website.

I got one of these from a mail order place years ago (don't remember where). They're great if little kitty paws (and jaws) are afoot. I also like to put greens in them around the holidays.

They are called cuttings vases, wall mounted.. A very inexpensive way to have flowers or plants, just snip where you can and place your cuttings on the wall. I was at Flora Grubb in SF a week ago and they have these cute round ones display with a variety of cuttings.

I have a little wall vase that is a magnet. Small resin cube with a hole through it just big enough for a test tube, and a strong magnet embedded in one side. It is perfect for holding one flower in my bathroom (our steel medicine cabinet is next to the mirror). The flower is a lovely treat each morning, a gentle surprise for guests, and the test tube can be easily refilled from the sink. I only wish that I had bought more than one, I've never seen ones quite that perfect again....
