Living in a house full of windows I was on the quest to bring the outside in! Surrounded myself with tons of plants and wanted to incorporate gemstones – in a different way.

I bought these vases from dollar tree (!!) and over the year slowly collected gemstones in various colors. As you can see I still have a few more to go but I wanted to share my progress picture.

Would love to see any other ideas about how to use natural materials in a non-traditional way.

I love this idea! And your color choices for the stones. I think I may want to try this and layer some stones. I love the DT score on the vases but where did you get the stones?

[Emily]

Thanks! I love blues and greens

I found most of my stones on etsy.

Takes about a pound or so to fill a vase.

Great! Thank you for sharing the links. I’ll be sure to come back and post pictures when I’m done.

Emily, your wall of stones and glass is absolutely beautiful! I think this will inspire me and many others to try this!! Love the colors. I feel like I’m at the beach.

I absolutely LOVE how the presentation is so clean yet creates high impact! This combination of “balance” and “impact” is exactly what design is all about! I will definitely be trying this!

The light from the windows is awesome in that I imagine as the day goes by the light hits differently and at the end of the day is softened to a glow. I would love to see how others incorporate this in their decor.
