Farmhouse Style Container Upcycle

by Emily Carlson

This project is such a stunning before and after! What a transformation these little farmhouse style containers took on. It's amazing how much of a difference a little spray paint can make! Especially on thrifted items. Check out how I fixed up these containers for my kitchen decor!

I got my hands on these little jars from a yard sale. Best find ever! And I knew from the beginning that I wanted to fix them up.

I started by painting the dark gray parts of the jars with a fresh light chalk paint in a lovely gray color.

I then spray painted the jars white.

This white and gray go so perfectly together!

I added a little bit of a distressed look where they were originally scuffed up and just love how it adds a rustic charm.

And that was it! So easy! And such a big difference..

I love having these displayed in my kitchen. To see more, head over to http://thecraftycarlson.com/2016/08/29/farmhouse-style-container-upcycle/ and visit me at The Crafty Carlson!

Thanks for reading!

How did you add the chickens ontop and in front?

  From the looks of it, they were already on there when she bought them from the yard sale.

  You're exactly right! :) they were part of the jars when I got them from the yard sale. I thought they were so cute!

very cute. I have ceramic birds and may do this to mason jars.
