Bedside Carafe Farmhouse Style

Sharing helps others too!

Here’s a simple idea for a creative bedside carafe farmhouse style.

Many home stores and catalogs are selling beautiful and expensive bedside carafes with a glass that fits over the top becoming the lid.

I did an inspired by ~ knock off of this idea!

With the holidays coming, wouldn’t to be fun to have a bedside carafe for each guest?  I figured out a way to get a dozen carafes with glasses for about $20.

 

Mason jars come in regular and wide mouth sizes.  The wide mouth is easier to fill when canning veggies .

So I’ve been told.  Popping green beans was my job when canning with Grandma.

During a sleepless night I started wondering if a regular sized mouth mason jar would fit inside a wide mouth jar.  It was several months before I ever tried it.

The best ideas take me a while! 🙂

I starting thinking about mason jars and the size of their mouth, when I broke the expensive glass to one of the bedside carafes I bought.  Yep, I shelled out close to $100 for two bedside carafes for Mike and I.  I don’t like breaking things but I have to admit…

I was glad to see that glass break!!

We like ice in our bedside water and getting ice cubes into the narrow mouth every night…well there’s a better use of my time!

Plus they are not easy to clean!

I kept the carafes just for wine or water.  I also kept the glass and use the carafe and use it when we have one house guest for their bedside.  But we rarely have one house guest…we have 4 or 7 or 8!

I did find other bedside carafes online.  This one from One King’s Lane is stunning.  Please click to view the inspiration image.  Do to copyright I do not download images that are not mine! 🙂

My bedside carafe farmhouse style is…my style!

So that’s why I was wondering if a wider mouth mason would fit over a regular mouth jar.

And it does!

The sizes needed for the perfect fit are a wide mouth pint that fits over a regular mouth quart jar.

These are fun for ice tea too!

Here’s an idea for the seals too!
