Current Obsession: Mercury Glass

Originally created as a “poor man’s silver,” mercury glass has made its way into high end decor. It is such a unique substance, combining both rustic and glamorous elements in one material. You can group mercury glass with silver for a more glamorous look, or mix it with bronze elements for a more rustic appeal. Either way, it's sure to draw attention!  
Most think of mercury glass as a winter decoration. It's most available in stores around Christmas time, but I always wait for it to go on clearance after Christmas and stock up on things to use all year round! I love this use of the mercury glass for Fall by Pottery Barn.
I purchased these mercury candlesticks after Christmas a couple of years ago at JCPenny's and they were marked down to about $2 a piece!
 
For the holidays, mix and match your favorite pieces to glam up your dining table!
