Last I was looking for a large white vase to put some green bamboo stick in them to get a nice modern look, and some green in the dining room. I couldn't find any, so I found the exact shape I was looking for at Ikea, but in glass. Nevermind, I bought it and painted it white !! The marks of the paintbrush hairs make a nice effect on the finish of the paint.
