In our teensy kitchen space is a premium! Our old drinking glasses just weren't cutting it because we could only fit 8-10 in our cupboard space, and we were always running out when the dishwasher was full. :( But, as you can probably tell from the title of my post, I've stumbled upon a solution!
Recently, I discovered that one of my girlfriends was using mason jars for drinking glasses. I have to admit that the idea didn't just win me over instantly. Eventually though, I realized the potential mason jars might have for our small space - because they stack! And of course, it just so happened that earlier in the year I had bought some glass mason jars second hand, expecting to have so many tomatoes that I could can some salsa. They had been sitting in our garage for months gathering dust though since apparently our little family devours fresh, homegrown tomatoes. ;) So you can only imagine how excited I was for all of these pieces to come together and build such a beautiful puzzle!
However, I was pretty sure that Hugh would shoot the idea down (don't ask me why I thought this.. I also thought he might not like the name "Karis", but he actually loved it... maybe I underestimate him??), but when I ran it by him, he was more than excited. Something about efficient stacking and industrial engineers.. So we ran them through the dishwasher, gave the old glasses away, and happily stacked up our re-purposed mason jars.
And do you know how many we can fit in our cupboards now? 24! Easily. And I'm pretty sure I paid maybe $10 for all of them.
Talk about cheap, space-saving, and even kind of rustic/cute!
