Recycled Chic
I adore reusing old bottles, etc as decorations. These are so pretty, I almost don’t even care that they came off of Rachel Ray’s website.

South Carolina boys Matt and Ted Lee, authors of the just-released Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook ($35, W.W. norton), have made a career of getting back to good old American basics. To wit, they created this month’s centerpiece from the canned-foods aisle. To re-create the look, choose retro-looking cans from your own market, empty them — to make a pie, perhaps — and fill them with small bunches of flowers.
