There aren't many of us that don't get a little googley-eyed for colored glassware. They make any table prettier and any snack more appealing. Instead of filling your cabinets with expensive retail purchases, try this simple bottle idea instead.

Camilla over at Family Chic has been using these bottles to make her kitchen a little more fun. The best part? They're just simple Schweppes Ginger Ale bottles. They'd be a blast for a party and although we can hear your sad songs of, "But they'll be so hard to clean" they're dishwasher friendly. Plus, if you don't have a dishwasher, chances are you already have a good bottle brush that will get the job done just fine.

They'd be great for a party table or anytime you want a little something special to go along with your meal. The best part is there's little guilt if you decide green isn't your color and want to start collecting something else. Just recycle and go about your business. If you had purchased a full set of colored glassware from your favorite retailer and grew tired of it — well then that would be a different story.
