It is the most neutral of neutrals and the easiest to decorate with as it crosses style lines and reflects light in a way that visually opens up a room like no other color.

Added in are a lot of bells and whistles including hidden contraptions, and unique platforms for display and lighting which all together seamlessly open up to the rest of the home’s architecture.

Special & Cute Coffee, Tea, and Sugar Jar Galore!

Doesn’t it seem like home canning jars have been around to preserve things (anything!) since the beginning of time? Well they have really only been around since the mid 1800′s, but with every passing century we are still finding ways to reinvent the jar with new styles, forms and designs. Below are some really beautiful jars we found that should compliment any possible style of home decor! However, what hasn’t changed is the stuff that goes into these jars so the labels continue to read the same, and it looks like sugar, coffee, tea, and flour will always take precedence for a royal production of caffeine and baked goods! So take a look at some sweet stylish ways people are packing jars in their kitchens…
this is an interesting design and goes with country rustic decor for sure!

 A classic retro approach to jarring ingredients, and gray goes with anything!

 Back to the old school with these beautifully scripted vintage style jars.

 The original old fashioned glass jars with hinged lids and boldly contemporary labels.



This is a sweet contemporary collection of ceramic jars with wooden lids.


Looks like the designer of this collection didn’t want to leave a single product behind, well except for the “I” which contains…ice?

 So they’ve found a new way to market comic strips! Who couldn’t use a good laugh in the morning?

These cool techie designs are modern alright, and so fun with their color coordinated lids.


These cuties are made of porcelain and have labels on their eyeballs for Sugar, Tea, and Coffee!
