Blue Mason Jars....

SO as I was getting ready this morning, I started looking around in our bathroom and realized "our bathroom is so ugly....".  No color, outdated vanity, it's just not pretty at all.  Then I ran (yes I actually ran...) out into the bedroom and watched Apolo Ohno on the Today Show.  He is SO gorgeous....  Anyways, back to my bathroom, it's ugly.  We have a towel rack with a hand towel on it that we don't even use.  So it got me thinking...."we should put a shelf there!".  At first I was thinking a white shelf, but then found some glasses shelves online I really like.  I have been looking at my Pottery Barn catalogs for a while now and remembered some of their pictures showing mason jars as decor and storage.  Then the little light bulb went off in my head....blue mason jars!  I LOVE colored glass (hence my obsession with cake stands).  I have seen a lot of blue mason jars at a few of my favorite antique shops, so that is my plan!  Here are a few pics which have "inspired" me.  I know what I'm doing this weekend.... :)

Isn't this bathroom gorgeous???  Oh Pottery Barn ......

I found this one on sale for $34.99.  Oh don't worry I will venture up to Target and Walmart to compare...

I REALLY like this one.  It's chunky.....love the little detailing....but of course it is not on sale...

Now onto Mason Jars:

I really like these...LOVE the aqua blue....thought they would be perfect for storing my make-up brushes etc. 

I also like these cobalt blue jars but they may be too tall....and too dirty?

I love these huge antique pickling jars....but they would be too big...unless....

I get another shelf for the other wall in our bathroom....then I can place them on top? Still may be too big...

I just ADORE colored glass....

And now I want to rip out our vanity mirrow and put up a new mirror.

But I would probably like something more chunky and antique....of course....love the sconces!

I would also like to add a pop of color with a floral display either on the shelf.  Maybe some black/dark purple Calla Lilies.  Or maybe some fuchsia peonies or blue hydrangeas.  What do you think???  What do you think about all of this???  I would LOVE to hear your ideas! :)

There are LOTS of cute ideas as far as decorating with mason jars.  One of my favorite blogs, The Classic Bride used aqua vintage mason jars as centerpieces.  I love this website...lots of great ideas. :)

And for an outdoor wedding:  I love this idea!  Hanging mason jars (making them into lanterns) from trees and placing flowers into them.  SO pretty.  I will be doing this in my backyard as soon as my trees hurry up and bloom! :)  Who needs a wedding???

My house/yard is now going to be covered with mason jars.  I'm sure my husband is WAY excited....lol...he probably won't be when he has to run outside and take them off the trees when it gets super windy or a storm rolls through.....but at least it looks pretty right?!?!?! :)

Have a FABULOUS day!  Spring is almost here! :)
