Mason jars.
I’ve recently become obsessed with Mason jars. I suppose you could really use them anywhere, not just at the cottage, but our home is pretty modern/contemporary and they just don’t really fit into our style there. Our cottage on the other hand is what we like to call shabby-chic and the Mason jars fit right in!
It started with counter canisters at the coffee maker:
And quickly became the summer season’s favourite drinking vessel:
More recently on a girls weekend we surprised hubby by turning some of our favourite drinking vessels into pendant lights for the kitchen:
Next I’d like to tackle making some soap dispensers for the bathroom :)

Those lights turned out lovely! :)
Thanks! We’re really happy with them!
Beautiful! I’d love to know how you made these! Is there a tutorial online you’d recommend?
Thank you! It was actually super easy. The hardest part was hanging them from the high ceiling. I used this link as a guide

We ended up getting a slightly larger pendant light though (because I was after a light with a clear power cord which was hard to find) which resulted in a bigger hole and no room for ventilation holes. The guy at Lowe’s assured me I didn’t actually need the holes. We have them on constantly and we’ve had no problems with them what-so-ever. Let me know if you have any questions!
