I fully admit I'm a vase hoarder, I seriously have more options then I actually need. This past year, I've really gotten into arranging flowers and finally cracked the code to make simple grocery store blooms look like an expensive arrangement (check out this post for the How To). Since I buy flowers almost every single week, I've experimented with several different vases. However, the past few months there's one vase style I keep going back to, the cylinder vase.

Tall or small, the cylinder vase is actually the one vase you need in your cabinet. It's honestly the Go To Vase Style that helps take simple flowers from basic to amazing. Perfect example, a few days ago I bought carnations on a whim. The deep fuchsia color was too pretty to resist, even though I'm not much of a carnations person. I've always thought they were too common and not very special. Once the budget-buy; carnations were cut at various lengths to give them depth, and placed inside the cylinder vase, it was magic. The basic carnations went from so-so to amazing.

In addition to using a small cylinder vase on repeat, I love using my larger crackle cylinder vase.

Same vase, different flowers.

More cylinder vase inspiration.

Cylinder vases are by far one of the easiest vases to arrange flowers in, and quickly take flowers from so-so to wow. I found the small cylinder vase on Amazon for less than $8 bucks. The vase is the perfect size for making small arrangements look fuller, since the opening is only four inches wide and the vase is the all the same size. Versus using a vase that has a full round bottom, its hard to place the flowers in that type of vase. I seriously can't get enough of the simple cylinder vase.

What's your favorite vase to arrange flowers in? Are you also a self-proclaimed vase hoarder?

By far my favorite social media app on my phone is Instagram. Its fun to scroll the gram and see what friends, bloggers and brands are up to daily. It's also fun to sharing daily glimpses what I'm up to and engage with my #InstaSquad. I'm still getting used to using IG Stories, which is like SnapChat, which I don't have, but those deer filters look like a blast! Above all its fun to be inspired by like-minded people. I've been using Instagram for a while, and have been wanting to find an easy creative way to print my photos.

We have a mini FujiFlim Instax camera which is fun to use when your out and about, I just adore the retro look on the pictures. I wanted to find a way to print my Instagram pictures and give them that same retro vibe.

After searching high and low, I found a fantastic company called Square Snaps, that lets you print your favorite Instagram pictures. Square Snaps has a few Polaroid print options: the Classic Vintage 3.5x4 and the mini 2.6x3. The process was super simple and fast, I created a account with Square Snaps and allowed them to access my Instagram account, then selected the prints and placed me order. The company is based in the UK, I placed my order on Sat evening and my prints arrived on Thursday, the shipped option I choose also included a DSL tracking number. I opted for the mini Polaroid prints, which are just the perfect size. Below is a closer look.

I have a little basket on my coffee table that I placed a several IG Polaroids in, its a fun way to see the picture and remember the story behind the photo. Plus having several within view also makes it fun for friends to look though. The photos prints are nice quality for such a bargain print and each photo is super thick. I love being able to hold the memory that I captured right in my hand.

On my Instagram, I share a lot of interior photos or my home along with life sprinkled in, for the pictures I choose to have printed I choose a similar mix.

I plan to frame some of the Instagram Polaroid prints into a collage, I love how Jenny from Little Green Notebook framed her mini Instax Polaroid photos, they look so cute in her bathroom. I'm so excited to tackle the a collage of pictures and hang them up. In addition, these IG Polaroids would look fantastic pinned on an inspiration board or framed on a nightstand. So many possibilities.

I used to love printing my photos, but for the past few years, I've been so bad about taking the time have photos printed. Go forward using Square Snaps is my favorite way to print photos double plus, I have the option to link to my Instagram again or upload pictures from my computer! Cheers to fun way to print memories and give them a retro vibe. Follow me on IG @ChicLittleHouse
