Coffee Bean Mason Jars

Last week while on Pinterest, I found a gorgeous get up for an entertainment center that involved mason jars and hydrangeas.

edit: now that I see the pic again it in fact did not entail mason jars however I must have had them on the brain because that's what my project used. sooo..never the less. 
Moving on.

Mason Jars and Hydrangeas.

You had me at Mason Jars.

Following yet?

I hit up Michaels. Everything was on sale! 50%-60% off!
I also went to Publix for the coffee beans because they had a certain brand Buy One, Get One Free.
Meant to be!

Before I get to the project, let me just show you how eye pleasing it was not.

yeah. about that.

As soon as I got home I started putting them together.

I filled them all with the coffee beans.

After trimming the hydrangeas they were put into the jars.


I chose the green color because I thought it would be better year round until I figure out something else to do with them once Fall and Christmas comes around.


The after. 

I'm really happy with how it turned out and the smell is amazing!
It feels like I'm walking into Starbucks every time I go into the bedroom. ha!

I also was getting tired of seeing the clutter on the side shelving area so since Michaels was having a 50% off sale on their baskets and storage organizers, I bought several baskets to put on the shelves.

Here is the before:

Horrendous right? Yikes.

Here's the after:

The OCD in me is very happy with how things look now.

The Mason Jar project was really easy and cheap!
Total for everything? $50. 
Most expensive things were the bags of coffee at $6 something a bag (bogo).

This weekend I'll be tackling a burlap wreath! 
Since AP didn't bring me on at Blissdom! ;)
