Spray Painted Mason Jars



I am looking for cheap projects to change 
the decor of my kitchen a little.

I have dark cabinets which I totally regret now...
but 4 years ago when we built the 
house I was in love with them.

I have a different outlook on what I like now, 
mostly whites and creams and bright accents...
a few pastels too.

But since most of my house is browns, 
it's really hard to incorporate those colors. 
Once the sofa needs replacing 
(which may not be for a while...sigh), 
it will be easier to create that new look I'm going for.

So for now I'm just picking away at the little 
things that I can display in the kitchen & dining 
area that will give a pop of color.

And you can't get any easier than spray 
painting a couple of mason jars 
and adding a pretty ribbon.


All I did was spray paint several coats
to the inside of the jars, 
letting each coat dry in between.
Nothing to it...
quick & cheap!













Don't forget to link up your
latest projects to

Make the Scene Monday

going on right NOW!!!

See you guys soon...
have a great Monday!

    Great project Sarah! I've done that before but with just pouring paint into a bottle and rolling it around, then pouring out the excess. But I'll have to remember that for a gift I have coming up. Hey, I've been trying to decide on new cabinets -- so dark is too dark? I've been considering a medium brown, but perhaps I should go with white? thanks for the heads up AND --- for joining me and becoming a VERY COOL PEOPLE --- at * simple sequins * !!! (i think we are going to get along great :) )

    Very cute! I just used a similar process and love the look of colored jars. I really like the gingham ribbon on yours too.

    Very pretty pop of color. Do you find it hard painting the inside of the jar, rather than the outside? Do you remember what color the yellow is? Beautiful project, dropping by from Sisters of the Wild West party:)
