Saves the scrubby sponge from getting gunked up so quickly. It also helps remove the glue residue. Love this site, by the way... just found it today.

To removed the paper labels from bottles, I fill a stock pot with water, bring it to a boil, and balance the bottle over it for about 10 minutes. The steam makes the label fall right off! I've only tried this with paper labels. I don't know if it would work with the plastic sticker ones. Of course, steam is HOT so use caution and if you burn yourself, its not my fault.

If you don't have much fridge space, even leaving the pitchers out on the kitchen counter inside where it's cooler (with lots of ice in each one) should totally be fine for the duration of the wedding. Hope it helps! xo, s

What kind of container did you use to make the big batches of lemonade/tea and to refill the bottles when they got empty? The logistics of this is baffling me as we don't have much fridge space since we'll be grilling/making our own food too. We’re using this idea for our wedding too!

Our advice for getting your husband to come around would be to show him images of rooms with white frames and white mats (men are visual creatures so sometimes they need to see something to get it).

She and I are both young and in love with our own 50's ranchers that we have been slowly overhauling and re-redecorating with our husbands. I love the bottle display and have hunted around your blog until YAY I finally found the tip to getting the labels off...though I wish it were easier! My next project: convincing my husband that it's acceptable to hang photos with white mats in white frames (he insists on black). Advice and/or support for either frame color is welcome and appreciated. I have been inspired by many of your unique and budget friendly diy ideas. Thank you and keep it coming! Jill Sherry/John,

As for hanging things on your wall, you can try these things called 3M hooks. They're completely removable and won't hurt your wall after you take them down so they're great to display your ocean things (plus your mom won't worry that they will leave a bunch of holes in the wall). You can find them at Target and Home Depot and places like that. Hope it helps! xo, s
