You can get so many nice light fixtures for a really good price at big box stores these days and you can always DIY yourself one too!

They just make me feel happy about stuff..These jars subtly set the tone of the room for me, along with those big black and white pictures in the background..

If you think you’d like to make some white ginger jar type things of your own, here’s all your need to do!.First, visit your local thrift store and keep your eyes open for something with a great shape, but really tired and outdated colors and patterns.I think these types of jars were often used in the 70’s as kitchen canisters, so they seem pretty easy to find.. Something like this:.

Next, you’ll want to clean it up really well.Use soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

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.It’s a little cruel, but it’s necessary.. My own kitties don’t really love house plants, but they do really enjoy the culinary delights of various cut flowers.

If I have flowers in the house, they will end up dumped all over the table, usually in the middle of the night so I don’t find them until first thing in the morning.Aren’t pets fun?

I could put the flowers up high where the cats can’t reach them, but that’s not where I want to enjoy them.And it’s MY house, darn it!
