A Very Simple Little Re-Do...



Remember this vintage tobacco jar I shared in a recent thrift store fun finds post?


Well, I gave it a simple little re-do.  I just painted the lid white, did a little distressing...


and used it to hold swabs...


It transforms into a wonderful vanity jar...


I love a quick and easy re-do!

Until next time...

    Looks so much nicer with the lid painted white.

    This turned out beautifully! Perfect for the swabs. Great job and I love what you did to that basket in the second photo too!

    Have a great day,

    It's perfect repurposed for holding cotton swabs rather than nasty ol' tobacco! I love a simple and quick project, too. I've got to quit volunteering to take on our girls' projects!

    I love the humidor for bathroom storage, and the white washed cover.

    Isn't it fun when a fast fix brings as much pleasure as a three hour project?

    Just a little dab of paint made all the difference, huh?
    I just washed out a pretty candle jar that had a lid and decided I wanted it to go in the bathroom too!
    ...birds of a feather! Pat
