While sitting in our doctor's office today, we were reminded of how much we love these glass jars used for holding medical supplies. Simple, functional, utilitarian, they easily make the transition into the home and would fit well into many types of decor. More after the jump...
Look! Glass Medical Jars for the Bathroom
A natural for the bathroom, we love how, unlike many jars, the tops fit loosely enough that they can be manuvered off with one hand. We found similar ones at The Container Store but we wanted something taller. Crossing our fingers that the ones our doctor had were still being manufactured, we googled "glass medical jars sundry." Our efforts were rewarded. We found clear and opaque white plastic versions, as well as the glass ones we had our eye on. Running about $10 a jar, Amazon has them with labels, which can be fun in the right setting. We prefer ours label-less; we found them at Medical Marketplace.

Target has them, that's where I got mine. Just do a search for apothecary jars. IKEA has similar jars in their food storage section, though they're not really apothecary jars.

Jeez-Louise. At these prices, it's no wonder doctors charge so much!

I've always loved the thought of having smaller square-shaped versions for Q-tips and cotton balls at home. But having the real deal at home would be too clinical, somehow making me feel on edge, like I'm about to have an uncomfortable discussion followed by a shot.

Am I experiencing deja vu or was this recently covered?

During the "high-tech" decorating craze of the late 70's, "real" (as opposed the Target kind) lab jars were prerequisite in any picture of a "high-tech" style kitchen or bath. They were almost always accompanied with with Metro shelving and Johnsonite black rubber flooring. Kind of like a "spa-style" bath is today.

Medical Marketplace also has little thermometer sterilizers which would also be nice for single flowers or tiny bouquets.

Yes, I think this was posted last week, or a virtually identical post.
