Unique Decoupage Decor for Your Home
I transform everyday glass bottles into textured, hand-finished art pieces using pressed flowers, vintage papers, and layered paint effects.

About Unique Decoupage Decor
If you’re looking to style a desk or a bookshelf, these bottles add a layer of texture that mass-produced decor just doesn't have. Because I seal every piece with multiple coats of protective varnish, the paper edges blend seamlessly into the glass, leaving a smooth surface that’s easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth—just remember, these are strictly for decor and aren't meant to be submerged or put in a dishwasher.
Every piece I create starts with the hunt for the right shape—an empty glass bottle, usually saved from a household cycle, waiting for a second life. I love that decoupage is historically called l'arte del povero (the art of the poor) because it focuses on the beauty of transformation, taking something simple and making it intricate.
The Process Behind the Piece
It isn't just about sticking paper to glass. I build the surface up using texture pastes and subtle crackle effects to give it an aged, heirloom feel. Depending on the theme we choose—whether it's floral, vintage, or abstract—I incorporate elements like pressed flowers, gold leaf, or jute rope detailing on the neck of the bottle.
How We Can Collaborate
- Personalized Themes: Do you have a specific color palette in your living room? Let's match it. Whether you want deep, moody florals or a light, airy aesthetic, we can coordinate the shades.
- Custom Gifting: These make for surprisingly thoughtful gifts. If you have an object that holds meaning—a bottle from a celebration or a specific glass item you’ve held onto—send it my way, and I will turn it into a lasting piece of decor.
- The Finish: I use professional artist-grade varnishes. This ensures that the texture is protected and the surface is durable enough for regular dusting.
Since these are one-of-a-kind, no two bottles look exactly the same. It’s a bit of organized chaos in my studio, but that’s where the best results happen. If you have a corner in your house that feels a bit empty, tell me what colors you love and we’ll figure out a design together.
