Lauren from The McBride House has an awesome DIY project to show off. Her DIY PB inspired mason jar chandelier is gorgeous!
Source: Pottery Barn
The Pottery Barn version has 16 jars, measuring 35 inches wide by 32 inches high. Lauren’s condo’s small kitchen could not accommodate a chandelier that size so they scaled it down to half the size of the PB version using only 8 jars.
Wired…
Her husband built the part that mounts to the ceiling. A little Rustoleum Dark Bronze Hammered Spray Paint gave it the rustic metal finish it needed. She also sprayed one coat of the spray paint on the tops of the jars. This allowed some of the original silver to show through, adding to the look.
The price? Under $100! I bet it’d be cool to use it along with a dimmer too! Head to PB Inspired Mason Jar Chandelier to see more details.
Lauren and hubby – it’s fabulous! I.LOVE.IT. I love when something out of reach due to budget becomes a rewarding DIY project with awesome results! Great job!
This is awesome! I have been looking for a long time for a chandelier like this for our kitchen. Now it seems I will have to try it myself 😉 Thank you for sharing!
Looks great..thanks for sharing this great idea.!
Thanks for featuring me Roeshel!! The light actually is on a dimmer, and looks SO COOL when dimmed! 🙂
That's so cool. Great job! 🙂
That's awesome! I bet it would look neat if it was just one too.
That is absolutely genius!
Absolutely fabulous! When I saw this in the PB Catalog, it was love at first sight! What an amazing DIY project!!
Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! I'm amazed!
LOVE it!
So wonderful! I'd love to do this someday!
what a fab proj! must try this for my breakfast table area.
Love this idea! So cool! I agree, I dimmer would really look great!
Ummm…yeah, this is good! Very unique idea! I can imagine this looks amazing all lit up. A dimmer would work, too. Great job!

They did good! Looks great!
I have had my eye on this light and the chandelier with the wood balls for months now….just drooling over the PB catalog and wondering how I could make one myself. I love the idea. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to DIY. I do have one question though. Have you had to worry about the lamps getting too hot and burning the bulbs out quicker than normal, since each lamp is enclosed with no way for heat to dissipate? If not, I’m going for it cuz I love this idea.
Hi Karla! I love this chandelier too. You may want to pop over to the original post (link in post) since this is a feature and not my actual light fixture. I don’t have the answer but I’m sure she’d be more than willing to answer your question. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
