Repurposing old glass jars and canisters is a smart and stylish way to keep your home tidy. Martha Stewart, known for her home decor expertise, has found creative ways to elevate basic glass jars with easy DIY ideas. Whether it’s through decoupage or paint, turning old jars into stunning decor pieces is simple and fun.
In her farmhouse-style kitchen, Stewart uses glass jars to store pantry staples like flour, rice, sugar, and grains. She recommends jars with wide mouths for easy access and suggests mixing sizes and shapes for visual interest. This transforms simple storage solutions into beautiful decor pieces.
