<\/a>My kitchen is now sporting a Mason Jar Motif.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> It’s what happens when I spend a little too much time on Pinterest. It’s like crack for creative people.\u00a0 One minute you’re looking at beautiful pictures online… the next you’re driving through dark alleyways in search of weathered wood, and you’re buying mason jars by the case.\u00a0 But just look what I have to show for it!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I was able to update my kitchen for very little money, by replacing the old fixtures on my chandelier with clear mason jars.\u00a0 Normally, I’d show you exactly how to do this, but since I got the idea from Pinterest, I’ll direct you to the site that inspired me:\u00a0 www.blesserhouse.blogspot.com.<\/p>\n

My mason jar chandelier will look even better once I upgrade the light bulbs to Edison bulbs, but for now, I’m thrilled.<\/p>\n

I then made a mason jar hanging rack, that’s really more like artwork.\u00a0 It was inspired by Emily Benziger of Yesterday’s Sweetheart.\u00a0 (Be sure to check out her work at www.yesterdayssweetheart.com)\u00a0 The moment I saw it, I knew I had to make one of my own.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, I got the wood for FREE at Lowe’s.\u00a0 (Tip:\u00a0 Keep your eyes peeled for discounted wood.\u00a0 If it’s warped or somehow imperfect, they often have it just outside the store near the lumber section.)\u00a0 After going through a stack of discounted wood, I found a single piece of 2″ x 6″ weathered wood, complete with a rusty nail.\u00a0 I was immediately drawn to it, and when I took it to the register, they told me they had no idea how it got in their bin, and for me to “just take it.”\u00a0 Hallelujah!\u00a0 All I had to do was cut it, add some mason jars (I picked up the blue ones at Goodwill), and screw in some knobs I found at Hobby Lobby.<\/p>\n
