I have a slight milk glass obsession.  There, I said it.  Ever since I saw my Aunt Pamela's collection I may have an unhealthy desire to own as much of it as possible.  She, Pamela, had white kitchen cabinets and red walls.  Her vast milk glass collection created a sort of skyline on top of her cabinets.  This was years ago.  I have since begun my own collection.  Pamela helped quite a bit actually.  She is a true treasure hunter and was kind enough to grab a piece here and there for me.  I'm sure she has no idea how much I appreciate it.



Tips for decorating with milk glass:

• Think Groupings
• Appreciate structure
• Combine with color

One or two pieces of milk glass are fun, but for real impact, you want to group pieces together.  I find that groups of three work best.

Group milk glass together in threes.  Vary the hight and shape.

I really like using three pieces that similar in style (pedestal) together.  Here is in example of a grouping from my office bookshelf.

I also like using milk glass as bookends.

It's fun to use in small, unexpected ways.

Milk glass doesn't need to be vintage.  I got these amazing drinking glasses at IKEA for super cheap.  They look right at home with my vintage collection.


Combine milk glass with color!

Milk glass really makes color pop.  A saturated backdrop or some vibrant oranges really allow you to appreciate the details of the milk glass.  White on white is pretty too, but I prefer a little color.

I hope you like milk glass as much as I do.
