Easy Home Decor with Glass Apothecary Jars
My kitchen is totally white. White cabinets, white appliances, white tile. I’m a girl who enjoys color, lots of color. I also have a weird hang up about too many things on my counters. Feel like we’re become friends? You officially know 2 of my neuroses now, all white & things on the counter, believe me, those are on the minor list. 😉
So, I got a little creative and challenged myself not to spend a dime and add color to the kitchen. I’ve collected all different sizes of Glass Apothecary Jars
so I rounded up some of them and began filling them with bright, colorful objects found throughout my house. I snagged some of the kiddo’s bouncy balls, sprinkles form my cupboard, some Cute Cupcake Liners like these pictured below that you can find on Amazon or the dollar store or the Target $1 Spot.
I’m in love with these totally adorable Pink and Red Heart Valentine’s Day Paper Straws
from Amazon. However, I’ve seen lots of cute ones everywhere from the Dollar Store to Michael’s.
I even used some colorful antique bobbin things I found on a trip and bought just because they all looked so pretty laying in a bin. Voila, a colorful corner created! Really, your imagination is the limit and you’ll be surprised where you’ll find inspiration.
This also became such a fun little way to change out the decor for various holidays. I started collecting holiday items on clearance, things from nature, and of course, candy! What’s a holiday without some candy, right?

LOVE! I have been meaning to get some of these for years now! Last year my daughter and I picked up acorns in a park and put them in a glass vase. My mom keeps a jar in her living room and fills it with different things as the seasons change, Christmas balls during the winter months, and eggs during spring.

Great idea with the acorns! It’s fun to think about all the ways to change things up! Thanks for stopping by!
