Hello My name is Kaley Ann and I have a blog you can see at http://chckgeek.com/2018/02/24/a-look-at-our-updated-bathroom-ft-hurd-and-honey/
Jann here at The Lamp Goods worked with me on this special Mason Jar Light Fixtures during our remodel. I am so happy that I’m finally sharing our updated bathroom! I’ve had some fun changes coming to this space for a while now and I’m loving how it’s coming along. Especially since we hung these gorgeous reclaimed mirrors. And I absolutely obsessed with it, and how these ones look in our master bath. If you remember we originally had two oval mirrors here that came with the house and although I didn’t mind them I had been on the hunt for something with a wooden frame. Enjoy.

After moving into a new place, modifying the lighting fixtures was TOP priority! I quickly relocated a duo fan from over the kitchen table (where it didn't make sense anyway) to over the island. This way the air flow in the kitchen could be better handled.
Unfortunately, the duo fan had only a single light bulb and with the frosted glass, it barely put out any light. UGH!
So my creative mind got busy. Yay!
Replacing the duo fan light with our authentic Windmill chandelier for over the table was a 'no-brainer'. I wanted the Windmill light and the duo fan to blend together in styling the best I could while increasing the amount of light the duo fan gave off. Especially since they were literally in the same room.
I started first by removing the 'light kit' with the frosted glass. (below) I figured if I could keep the original hardware, it would look like it was always a part of the fan.
I clipped the ends of the black and white wire that held the halogen bulb keeping the original connections to the fan. (below)
I looked in my pile of "stuff" and found some hardware to cover the interior of the mounting hardware. Then I began to build the four lights. (below)
Now the duo fan mimics the Windmill chandelier and provides better Illumination.
My only thought is I might add some rustic bronze paint to the tips of the fan to create even more cohesiveness.

To obtain the 100’s of vintage mason jars needed for our lights, we travel many miles but are rewarded with great stories to tell. Here’s a few.
Most frequently, we ramble down dusty roads to old white farmhouses where grandparents have raised large families. Houses now left with handmade curtains, a few photos and a cupboard of vintage mason jars. Sadly the families have had to part with the possessions but hold fast to the memories.
We have rescued jars from the farm ‘ditch-piles’by digging under layers of household pots, plates, and castoff toys. But more commonly,we walked down dark steps into the food cellar below the house. Some jars still holding preserves, but most often replaced with the new version of twist-on canning jars.
One adventure took us to an older home damaged by a bad fire. 
The smell was so strong and everything was charred, but there were shelves upon shelves of old mason jars.So we bought a few and told the folks, if they clean up, we’ll be back for the rest. Miraculously, we polished the jars up so well they looked like they had never been used.

Perhaps our two favorite stories involve the estate of a 103 year old woman who claimed to the reporter on her 100th birthday…
“I think I’ve lived so long because I only ate the foods I canned myself.”
And one of our last memories was obtaining over 1800 jars from an old school bus!

Traveling along rural roads of Maine, we meet up with interesting folks for these treasures of vintage mason jars - jars that have held food to sustain families throughout the hard winters of Maine. From blueberries to dandelion greens, these jars have held ‘life’ for generations.
It's so rewarding knowing our handcrafted mason jar lights begin a ‘new journey’ in homes throughout the United States and entire world!
Why are so many people crazy about windmills? Perhaps because of the history and importance of them on America's farmlands.
We are crazy about them too and wanted to offer lighting fixtures folks could put into their modern farmhouse decors that are so popular today. So catch the wind...
If you want more history of the windmill...read more...
Windmills are machines designed to convert the force of the wind into power to be used by humans. In the Great Plains, windmills were used, and continue to be used, primarily to pump water for consumption by people and domestic animals. Windmill installations typically consist of the actual wind machine and a tower (derrick) to support it in the air.
Most windmills used in the Great Plains were of self-governing design. This means that they automatically turned to face changing wind directions and automatically controlled their own speeds of operation to avoid destruction from centrifugal force during high winds. The first commercially successful selfgoverning windmills in America were invented and patented in 1854 by Daniel Halladay in Connecticut. By 1863 the factory producing Halladay's wind machines had relocated to Illinois, closer to a growing market for windmills in the Great Plains and Midwest.
Windmills started to appear in considerable numbers in the Great Plains during the 1870s, but the heyday for their use spanned the decades from the 1880s to the 1920s. Dozens of companies produced them. In time, tens of thousands of these wind machines came into use, principally for pumping water from drilled wells. A small minority of the early windmills converted the force of the wind into rotary power for operating small farm machines such as feed grinders, corn shellers, and wood saws.
The initial windmills in the Great Plains employed wheels and vanes made from wood, combined with cast iron and steel mechanical components. Manufacturers painted them in bright colors similar to other farm machines. All-metal windmills began appearing in the 1870s, but it was not until the 1890s that they came into widespread use. Production of steel windmills gradually supplanted that of "wooden" mills, although the latter remained available commercially into the 1940s. Starting in the 1920s, some residents of the Great Plains began using specially designed wind machines to produce electricity principally for domestic use.
Over the years windmills became visual icons in the Great Plains. One reason for this phenomenon probably stemmed from their appearance. Windmills on their towers constituted some of the very few vertical elements in the otherwise horizontal Plains environment. Furthermore, many residents of the region associate fond remembrances with windmills and their life-giving water, from cool drinks after long hours of field work to the experience of learning to swim in livestock watering reservoirs. Many Plains residents to this day express their emotional attachments to windmills as historical and aesthetic survivals connected with earlier times.
Several economic and technological factors contributed to the decline in use of traditional windmills in the Great Plains. The first major competition the wind machines met came from small internal combustion engines, used by some farmers and ranchers for mechanical work, including pumping of water supplies. The decline of agricultural commodity prices in 1921, following World War I, reduced the ability of people to purchase new windmills, a situation that worsened with general economic depression during the 1930s. The passage of the 1935 Rural Electrification Act enabled many rural people in the Plains to begin securing comparatively inexpensive electricity, which they then often used to operate power pumps, further decreasing demand for windmills.
In the half-century following World War II, windmills remained prominent elements of the built environment in the Great Plains. In most counties in the Plains "windmillers" still continue their business of installing and repairing windmills, which remain available from manufacturers both in the Great Plains and beyond. Because of personal sentiment, many residents in the region have carefully preserved historic windmills as tangible links with their past.
Its getting closer to the time of year when we can start enjoying the outside.
So preparing your farmhouse or cottage for some porch sitting goodness, starts with great lighting. Our mason jar exterior porch & ceiling lights created from authentic, vintage mason jars dating back decades ago, is just the right start.
