<p>Some might say you should have a garden before you have a bud vase. But I'm of the opinion that people can always use a cool bud vase, if for nothing more than decoration. That's why I bought a bunch of these <a rel="nofollow"...

If you've ever found yourself on the receiving end of several deliveries of, say 30th birthday flower bouquets, first of all, lucky you. Second, that means you know that feeling of looking around at new collection of perfectly serviceable vases that you nevertheless don't need and would never have purchased for yourself. And there they go, off to the dark recesses of your hardest-to-reach kitchen cabinets—or to the Salvation Army, if storage space is really at a premium. Still, you don't have to purge your whole vase aggregation (or toss out your stemware collection to make room for it). Instead, why not save one or two of the florist-issue models and dress them up with what I like to call, "outfits", and then round out the bunch with a couple of vases that collapse to roughly the size of a dinner napkin when not in use. Both strategies will give you lots more ways to display spring's newest arrivals, and neither will encroach on your precious cabinet square footage.

First up, at left, is a build-it-yourself kit from 5.5 designers. It consists of precut birch pieces that can be assembled into three different shapes around several sizes of vase. It's available for 45 Euros on Domestic.fr. (There is, however, a rather hefty delivery fee to the U.S., so this might be only for the hardcore.) [via Home Canary]
