Texture and Color
I had this plain clear vase,
and after I placed my flowers in it, they looked BLAH to me!
Now this trick is all over the place, and whomever thought of it, was a genius. Gals are using this twine on everything, from books, to lampshades, fruits, etc....
just about anything that you can wrap it around.
SO..my tip and tutorial is pretty simple...everything in your home can have a new look or second life. In my case there are many things that have been painted and repainted over and over...
this is pretty self explanatory:

What a great job you did with this! Love the natural feel of it now. And I'm loving those red scales I'm seeing in the background! Wherever did you get them?

WHAT A GREAT JOB!!!! YOU ARE SO CREATIVE
Debbie that's so funny I just bought tulips the other day and did the same thing to a vase I had. Mine is a different shape so I didn't do the whole thing but dang it I want yours!!
Color my world party?
That is a really cool & clever idea, Debbie. I think your little S/P are so sweet.

Good reminder of the many uses for twine. It looks so nice! Love the photos, so colorful.
Have a great weekend!
Love this idea Debbie!!
What a great idea and looks so pretty! Loving the orange and blue, together!
Have a fun day off tomorrow with the boys! It is to be in the 70's tomorrow...Woo Hoo!
There you go again, Debbie Dear, being the most creative of all! I like the twine around your vase! Love seeing your kitchen too!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Yep- love the twine look.. you did GOOD~!
Debbie, the jute brings this a totally new feel. Love it! I'm going to take the cue and pull out the twine. I have lots of blah vases like this. Great idea. ~ Sarah
Debbie good idea looks great one of the things I do with clear glass is I get a large green leaf and put it inside the vase that looks good too have a good evening

Amazing what a difference the twine adds to that plain vase! Great look! hugs, Linda
Great job! Love the salt & pepper shakers! So cute! Thanks for sharing. My boys have off tomorrow, too. SB has a friend sleeping over tonight.
That is sooo cute, and I have two big rolls that I bought at a "junk" sale for I think just a few cents a roll. Thanks, can't wait to wrap something in it.
What a great vase!!! Great job with the photos!!! You sure are getting good with your photography!!!
I am really getting into the natural textures, too! Nice!
Love the texture that twine adds to anything. That looks great.
So simple, yet looks great! Very creative and easy!
I love your vase! It's very 'rustic' looking:)
You made me chuckle with your comment about Mr. Doos having work but someone needs to bring home the bacon. Kyran works Sun. thru Thurs. now so Sunday's are lonesome but tonight is his Friday night...woohoooo!!!
Your vase turned out really well! Great addition!
Really cute Deb I'll have to try it!
Rondell
Wow what a great idea!!!
That is KA-UTE Debbie! The texture is so much more interesting. Where did you find your twine? I can't find it for nothin' around here...Don't they know I'm being tortured by twine madness?!*winks* Vanna
Well, that is just awesome! I love it!
Totally changed the look! Twine is our new best friend. :-)
What a great idea! I have loads of plain glass vases stored away that I was going to donate. Now, I think I may try my hand with some of that twine....
Cute idea Debbie! I rather like all the twine-y stuff. Just so you know I'm seeing Roosters everywhere now since your rooster post. Geez...I'm so not a Rooster lover, I should be seeing as it naturally goes into the French thing, but I'm still looking for special Roosters. You have special Roosters because I adored them. If you're in the market for roosters, they're all over JcPenneys and Sears. On sale even! Rugs, candles, wire roosters. Seriously, I'm not even kidding. I'm being attacked by roosters and it's all since your blog post. LOL ;)
Hope you have a fabulous weekend,
Blessings,

Have a great weekend.

Does your mind ever stop, I think not. Great call on this one. Charmingly, elegant.
Busy week with garden surveying and senior monitoring.

I love that Debbie! The shape of the vase actually makes the twine look so elegant wrapped around it. And I'm keeping my eye out for projects I can paint so I can join your party! Thanks so much for linking up to Inspiration Friday!
