Et voila!

I used my glass vases to decorate my dining nook shelves for fall. I added a stems and tea lights. I love how they came out. They were a great way to add color right where I wanted it!

Should I do a post about my process decorating my dining nook for fall? I don’t usually do “seasonal” things like this but it was actually really enjoyable!
