... with cloches?




















First off, if you are like me, I had to look up what the dictionary meaning of the word 'cloche':

cloche   | klo sh |

noun
a small translucent covering for protecting or forcing outdoor plants. 
(also cloche hat) a woman's close fitting bell-shaped hat
ORIGIN late 19th century: from French, literally "bell" (see cloak)

But creative Lanette at Cottage Elements has taken these beautiful pieces to another level with these wonderful ideas! 



































































I LOVE how she had incorporated vintage this and that ... like the classic brown glass door knob as a flower vase in the first photo.  The old colanders as bases in the second photo. The old machinery disc as a fruit bowl ~ clever and oh so attractive! The scales in the next image .... and I left my favourite til last ... the soaps and vintage hair tool ~ a lovely display for your vanity.

Oh! And Lanette doesn't use the typical cloche as a cloche ... she uses any clear glass vessel as a way to display what is underneath ... you really should check out Cottage Elements for inspiration.
