So, I’ve been trying to get back into shape after having a baby.

Or ginger jars anywhere, really.. Peonies on a side table..I used little tea light holders with water in them to put the blooms in to my twine bowl.. Yup.

That paint can and renovating debris is still there, weeks later.Just keeping things real.Well, real for a few days ago.

Things are changing in there now!.Flags and patriotic decor in general just always seem right in the Summer.

We’re in Canada here, but I have the Stars and Stripes going too.

It’s the neighborly thing to do.Finish up with a bit of rubbing alcohol to really get the grease off.. Make sure it’s super dry!.

Or don’t.. Here’s what happens if you spray paint over areas where there are still some water drops.. It’s actually kind of a neat, crackly-aged look, but it was totally a mistake.I just left it though, because whatever.

Now I kinda like it.. OK, so for real, it’s time to spray paint now..Separate your lid and your jar and place them on some newspaper or an old box or something outside.. You’ll need to do about 3 really light coats to get a nice even finish.
