A few weeks back I found this little cookie jar for $3 at my local thrift store and thought it was kind of cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lived with it a few weeks and found it to be great for housing my stash of Ghirardelli peppermint chocolate candies. However, the color scheme was really not fitting into my kitchen – I have absolutely no green in my decor and I just wasn’t feeling that blue railing with the burgundy door and green siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to paint it. For some reason I was a little hesitant for fear of “ruining it,” but I figured I had nothing to lose as I wasn’t fully enjoying it “as is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being torn between blue and white, I decided on a very pale blue – “Little Whale” by Fusion Mineral Paint<\/a><\/span>. It reminds me of snow at dusk – white with just a hint of dusty blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took 4 very light coats to cover. Here’s how it looked after the first coat – not great!<\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t worry about the first coat – or even the second or third – when you’re using Fusion on a ceramic piece. The first coat(s) are really just to adhere to the surface and get a foundation for subsequent layers. If you end up with some uneven spots, wait until it’s dry and lightly sand between coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voile!<\/p>\n\n\n

Since I already had the paint, the whole thing only cost me $3. It’s amazing what a little paint can do! If you’re not loving an item, don’t be afraid to try a little paint on it. It fits so much better with my decor now:<\/p>\n\n\n

Unfortunately all my peppermint chocolates are gone…I guess I’ll have to get more of those…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings,
