Rustic Summer Centerpiece

Since we’ve redone this half of the kitchen I’ve been on the lookout for ways to decorate our newly transformed table for each season, yet blend in with my decor.
One of my favorite finds is this ($1) wooden toolbox that was already painted and distressed. (Funny story: when we went on our vacation the owners of the house we rented had this exact same toolbox! Bet I found mine cheaper!)
My sweet blogging friend Amy from Atta Girl Says (and fellow host of our weekly link party) gave me the Coke bottles and the blue bottle was from our daughter’s frugal wedding decorations. I used ripped fabric from our shabby chic dining chairs and burlap strands to wrap around the bottles.
The flowers were purchased half off at Hobby Lobby and were the perfect accent to bring out the blue and yellow in the centerpiece.
That little menu board you see is a project I’ll share with you soon. So easy and fun!

Marty,
I can always count on you for using mason jars in such beautiful — and creative — ways! I’m absolutely saving to my mason jar pin boards! Thanks so much for the amazing inspiration!

Thank you, Linda, for such kind words. I do love mason jars and actually have another project coming from our bathroom makeover! It just may take me a while to get to it! Have a great weekend!
Looks great, Marty! Your kitchen is just chock-full of fun ideas–I’m guessing it’s a happy place to hang out. 🙂

Thanks so much, Nancy! I love the colors, too. It’s really different than anything we’ve done before and it’s become my happy colors! I’ll tell my hubby his DIY mason jar chandelier is infamous. That’ll crack him up!

Love the colors you have used. Could you please email me the name of the yellow paint. That is just the color I need for my kitchen. Thanks, Melind
Hi, Melinda. Sorry it took me a little bit to find the paint color. The paint is Behr Premium Plus Ultra Paint and Primer in One (from Home Depot) in yellow beg. (the rest was hidden by a tag) with the #7242W. Hope that helps!
Thanks!
I love that teal/blue color more than anything in the world I love this room and want to move it. 🙂

So cute! Just saw this post on Take-A-Look Tuesday. Love the beachy colors – and that centerpiece is just too cute! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Kim. I’m so glad you liked my summer centerpiece. I love it when thrifty meets fun and turns out cute!
I agree with Kirby. Your eating area looks like such a happy place! I love all of the frugal ideas that you used to put your cute centerpiece together.
I have a question. What keeps the lights from getting to hot under the jars?
very cute! I love rustic and vintage mixed.
It looks like a happy place!
Hey, Kirby! I’m glad you like my centerpiece! I am so thrilled with the colors and decor and the kitchen that I don’t even mind cooking quite so much 🙂 And yes, I’m going to Haven! Are you?
What beautiful summer colors Marty!!!
Love all of it 🙂
