If there is one thing I’ve become known for it’s my fondness for decorative branches in vintage vases. I’m constantly finding and creating beauty at home and one of the places I keep coming back to is nature—it’s a continual source of inspiration for me. A few clippings, twigs, stems in a vase is incredibly transformative and can make a space come alive, instantly.
And my fascination has inspired a sculptural movement with many of you seeking out my tutorials on Instagram and engaging in these natural seasonal change-overs with me. I love to share my tips and tricks on how to bring verticality into your space with branches and seeing your creations, too.
Throughout the winter I used long needle pine and a variety of verdant green branches but as spring approaches I was craving something a touch more delicate and dainty with a floral element—quince branches did the trick. An overwhelming amount of you asked me about the vintage fluted vessel I use to hold the branches. This particular vase is vintage, purchased through a local Brooklyn vintage shop called Hollar & Squall. It is about 24″ tall which works for me since I am lucky to have 12′ ceilings.
I would say that the majority of vessels in my home are vintage and sourced through either Chairish or Etsy. I often spend hours getting lost in the hunt for unique vintage vases and vessels so below I outline a few tips, tricks, along with some keywords I use throughout my search. I have also included a shop below with a few vintage vases along with some new vintage-esque vessels I found as well.
Enjoy the hunt, trust your eye, and find something unique.
