Siphon Bottles and Atomizers
Some of my windowsills are full of green and blue glass bottles, big ones, heavy ones. Not the delicate little gems that hold perfume but mile high siphon bottles and patent medicine bottles and poison bottles, even a wine bottle or two. They add a splash of vibrant colour to a room when the sun shines through them, casting a doppleganger on the adjacent wall. Recent weeks have seen changes in our house, a major bathroom remodel. I have used neutral warm browns for the tile, floor covering and counter top with a warm peachy-coral tint on the walls. Now it needs color and the blues and greens of some larger atomizers and those siphon bottles seem the perfect solution. So I have moved some of them to that window sill.
