Rob and I recently had an answered prayer in that we will be relocating back to the south sometime next summer. We plan to close on a 112 year old farm house in the next few months and will slowly transition to Alabama, where my maternal family is and where I was partially raised (I moved a lot growing up, but I lived in Alabama before moving to South Carolina, and Alabama is where my family roots are). Of course, with a super old house comes lots of renovations--we have tons of ideas and it needs A LOT of work; however, I figured while we wait to make our move and go crazy with the house reno, I'll start really cranking out the farm style, rustic decor. This project is one that I've been wanting to do for years but just never got around to it. The final resting place for this Mason jar wall caddy will likely be in the bathroom in the "new" house but for purposes of taking the final photo for this concept, I threw some of my paint brushes in the jars. This caddy is so versatile--I usually see them in bathrooms but you can use them to hold herbs, flowers, art supplies, baby supplies--the uses are endless!
Supplies:
STEP 1: Figure Spacing for Jars & Mark Cut
STEP 2: Cut Mark (optional)
STEP 3: Sand
STEP 4: Stain
STEP 5: Make Marks for Jars
STEP 6: Glue and Drill Holes
STEP 7: Figure Jar Neck Width, Pre-Drill Hose Clamps & Fasten
STEP 8: Attach Hangers
I can't wait to use this in our new home! Of course, it's super rustic but I think in a vintage style bathroom, it will fit right in.

Liz on Feb 11, 2017Courtney, I'll be praying that ya'll will find the very house that the Lord has planned for you. Sometimes, it is hard to 'wait' though, isn't it? Will you still get to move to Alabama? We miss the South & the super friendly people and that Southern food......yum! Especially miss that AL bar-b-que. (Roll Tide!!) Don't tell me it's "War Eagle"!!

Rob & Courtney M, Hometalk Team on Feb 13, 2017Haha thank you Liz! I'm really not sure what's next for us as my husband is currently going to school (online) for his degree in theological studies and is set to graduate next spring--while Alabama isn't off the table, we're waiting to see where we're going to be called/lead to. And yes, I miss my southern food but thankfully I'm still able to have it here (even though it's me cooking it!). As far as UA or Auburn, I never really was a fan of either and my family is split--mostly Alabama fans but I do have a few cousins who also went/go to Auburn. 😉
