Ball Jar Lights I’ve been wanting to do this for a year. It’s one of those things I’ve just been putting off. I love ball canning jars, especially the blue ones. So I took the hammer and busted up the seal to get it out. Once the seal was out, I marked the center of the lid. And used the drill bit and a hammer to poke a hole where the mark was. Then we started drilling. It only took a few seconds since the lid is so thin. I bought 2 recessed light converters years ago from Lowe’s (I think). This is what the shade originally looked like. I thought these little round bulbs would look the best with the ball jar lights. Then I just screwed the jar onto the lid. I love how it looks. I made one for over the sink too. I know these have been done all over the place, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do forever and I’m glad I finally did. And a side note: I’ve always wondered how high lights should be hung over an island. Oh, and Mom, it only took me a year, but I finally made them.

I totally fell in love with her Hang-It-All, a reproduction of the original that you can buy lots of places, and promptly looked it up to see where I could find one. (photo from Abbey's home. It came with a hefty price tag (around $179) so I was a bit bummed. (haha, i felt the same way when I saw it. :-) source (source) (source) The hardest part to figure out was the hook part, but I figured there must be some sort of premade hook-type-thing at a hardware store. I have to add that after I had the idea in my head on how I was going to make this, one of my blog readers, Cynthia (who has a very inspiring blog that you must read) tipped me off on a Curbly tutorial that shows you how to make, yes, an Eames Hang-it-all. So here's my take on the Eames Hang-It-All. towels
