Kitchen Tip for Coffee Storage Using Antique Ball Jars

by The Garden Frog with C Renee

I have had these antique Ball Jars for 20 years at least and for many years they were stored in a box or put on a shelf as farmhouse décor. I never put any thought into using the in the kitchen because they were "old".
However a few years ago I decided I did not like my stainless steel canister set because the set showed fingerprints and dirt so I put in the garage sale and looked for something else. Then I stumbled upon a sealed box in the attic and opened it up to discover my 2 antique Ball jars I had put away a couple years before.
So I took off the wire and ran them through the dishwasher. When they were dry I dumped the coffee in and realized that 12 oz package of coffee was a bit too much. That's okay because now one of my coffee brands is 11 oz which fits perfectly in the jar.
I am about function and neatness so this works perfect tucked under the cups hanging from the bottom of the cabinets.
Creating. Inspiring. Gardening without the Rules!

Great idea to use them as coffee jars. I wasn't too far off in my guess.
