then : now :: glass

I haven't done a 'then : now' in a while mainly because they're hard to do. it requires much more research and thought than most of my other posts. But for this one i started off with a set 'then' piece. It is a Lalique perfume bottle that i actually own. It was originally my grandmother-in-law's and now it sits on my dresser. i kinda love it. it's so simple and elegant and classes up the joint a bit!

I had to reach a bit for this 'now' counterpart, bit i think it works. These repurposed lightbulb vases have such a modern simplicity and are elegant in their own eco-way.
