I tweaked the vignette next to my stove to include an antique candy mold I picked up at the flea market and added some aqua Ball jars my grandmother gave me to the ledge on my cottage style vent hood. For the tutorial on how to make your own vent hood like mine, click here.
Not much has changed since this graced the pages of Romantic Homes magazine in September 2011. I filled up the French wire vase with kitchen gadgets, added the small crock to store garlic, and topped it off with this fantastic candy mold I picked up at a local flea market.
Here is a zoomed out view. You can also see where I put my collection of blue Ball canning jars on my vent hood. I love having the ledge of it to display things on.
Okay blogging buddies, I haven't shared them yet, but I bought a rather large box of vintage French canning jars (oh. . .they were $5.00 for the box. . .I love estate sales. . .) like the Ball one above with the flippy metal seal. Do you know if I can get replacement rubber seals for this style of jar? I'd love to use them for storage, but the current ones are dry rotted!
I'll leave you with a few more photos of the jars.
Bead board + Ball Jars = Happy Kitchen!
Don't fret, I'll be back soon with more goodies!

Oh I love your jars and your kitchen. It is fabulous. Not sure about the rubber rings, but I would think you could. Hugs, Marty
I love your kitchen and the fact that your stove looks like mine! Not huge, not stainless steel, but normal! I'm in the process of painting my cupboards and see how nice your countertop looks with your white. Maybe if I cross my eyes and squint at mine I can pretend my counter looks like yours!♥♫
Yes, indeed! Your kitchen makes me happy!

Such a happy kitchen! I googled 'rubber ball jar rings' and I got a number of promising hits. Give it a try and you should find some to replace your rotted ones.
Just beautiful. I love your kitchen!
Love your kitchen,it's so homey. The blue jars are so nice. You can get packets of new rings and clips. I live in Australia and we get them from our $2 shops quite often I have seen them. xoo
What a sweet kitchen. I love all your homey touches, especially all your little groupings by the stove.
Blessings & hugs,
Karen
Love, love, love those jars! Sorry, I don't know about replacement rubber inserts.....also love the hood!
It's gorgeous! Love the bright turquoise! And how cool that you were featured in the magazine!
Wonderful! I love your kitchen!
I love the cutting boards and the platters (I collect both)! And the distressed clock! Awesome.
I love how everything is arranged so beautifully. I am forever arranging and re-arranging.
Just gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your lovely space with us.
Will visit again soon.
