Garden Roses + Old Bottles & Books

I bought some garden roses yesterday (from a rose farm no less) to put in my office and I used some of my vintage bottles as bud vases. I’m in love with the slight green color of old glass, not to mention a lot of them have funny messages on them like “makes 5 gallons of drink.”

The books are left over decor for a recent wedding and I love them. I have a thing for books, especially old books and several stacks have made their home in my office.

The roses make my office smell amazing and there’s nothing quite like a pretty vignette to make my work day less stressful. Happy Wednesday!

There’s nothing more refreshing than the smell of roses as your work the day away!
