Easy Home Decor with Glass Apothecary Jars

Looking for an easy and super budget friendly way to decorate for holidays that still looks high end? The answer  is Easy Home Decor with Glass Apothecary Jars. Versatile, Fun and Simple DIY Decor for Holidays or Anytime. sunshineandhurricanes.com

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?

    Looks great! I’m weird about not wanting a lot of stuff on my counters either. Now to get that into the rest of the family’s head so we don’t end up with a pile up. Anyway, love your pretty colorful jars. Thanks for linking up to Show Me Saturday. Hope to see you there again this week!

    My mom is so great at using apothecary jars to decorate! She has a window seat in her kitchen she uses to display all these wonderful treasures. I love how you got colorful objects you already had in your house and made them decor!

    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.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
