Hey,
everyone. It's a gloomy Monday here in Michigan. More Ball mason tips
& tricks. This is another set of Ball Mason jars I sprayed
& distressed. I painted two,one was this size & one was
a larger "Mom" mason. I simply sprayed them with white { Gloss finish}.
Next time I will use a Flat finish for a more rustic appearance. After
the inside & outside were dry, I took a nail file to them
& distressed them a bit. I also wanted to mention I did use a
non -acid silver tip pen{Michael's} to lightly go over the words
& raised parts of the mason. This makes the rustic effect more
visible & less effort. Just a small tip/trick. Hope this helps
anyone going Ball Mason Crazy :).
{I
placed these on our fireplace in the upstairs living-room . I also
placed tall cinnamon stick sticking out of each of them}
Time
for a change up in the kitchen! The buffet cart that was posted on a
past post just received a face lift. If you remember it was an old buffet
cart my neighbor pitched. It had an ugly dark chipped veneer finish
& needed a much needed cleaning & paint job. I ended up painting
it bright white & adding black & white peel & stick paisley
print paper. It matched perfect with our paisley parson chairs & decor. Well..that was over year ago & the kitchen is nothing
like that anymore. From recent post you pry can tell the kitchen is
more of a rustic luxe with more creams,/ sages. I ended up peeling the
paper off & hand painting{ last time Spray Painted} it a solid
cream. The project was a success & only took about 2 hours in all.
This project was a free face lift as I already had the cream paint.
