Our kitchen was blessed with hot hot hot pink walls and dark cabinetry. At first it was a sight for sore eyes, but I think us ladies have really grown to love the walls. Because of these walls, we didn't want a lot of color besides punches of teal here and there. We have 2 shelves above a counter and figured out what to do with the lower one, but the high one was a mystery. Jerika and I found pinned items that had to do with coloring Mason jars and vases, and we decided to give it a try.
Our inspiration:
One boring evening while Maren and Jerika were away having fun. Marina and I decided to tackle this project we had been putting off too long. We ran (actually we drove) to the local picked over D.I. and filled our arms with glass vases galore. Other peoples trash = our crafting haven. We bought 9 $.75 vases and we splurged on 1 $1 vase. We lead a crazy life. With our vases in hand, we shimmied over to the Home Depot and bought 3 cans of $.94 spray paint. We got home and were greeted by Maren and David who were excited to help with the project. We cleaned the grime off the vases and took them to the backyard to paint. We were all surprised with how well the $.94 spray paint covered the glass (although we heard it sucks on wood). We brought them inside and had David do the dirty work of arranging them while we all stood back and told him to move something "1 inch to the right" "switch the one over there and the one over there."
The entire project cost us about $13 and took us only 1-2 hours. You can't even tell the vases aren't white ceramic!We are 100% super pleased with the final product and even decided to spray paint a wooden mallard and stick him up there...Apparently ceramic animals are all the rage, so we decided to make a mock. Can you spot the 3 items that are real ceramic? Hint: they match.
