 I am so excited about this post. I hem hawed about this, knowing that I needed to do something but I just wasn’t sure how to make this nasty under-the-step paint storage place better than it is. (I know…pretty much ANYTHING would have been better)

So, when I saw the idea on Martha Stewart’s website to store paint in canning jars I knew that’s what I wanted to do.

I emptied out all my old paint cans into jars and then label the jars accordingly.

If there was a color tag on the paint can, I stuck it to the back of the jar.

On the tops of the jars, I labeled where I used that particular color, for future touch ups.

By putting the paint in these jars I was able to get rid of all of these old grungy paint cans.

Now, my paint is all neat and will be much easier to make touch ups as well.

I love it!
Blessings,

    Very nice and pretty! My husband use to say I had my own Home Depot paint aisle in the basement under the stairs. It was sooooo bad. 🙁 lol Luckily, I was able to donate most of the paint to the drama department at the local high school. They use the paint to decorate stage props, etc. Yay! 🙂

    I love it too! It is a much better way to keep paint, I can’t tell you how many times I have just enough paint left in the can that I don’t want to throw it away but the lid doesn’t ever seem to fit right again and the paint just ends up drying up anyway. I think your jar solution would keep the paint much longer! It’s even kind of pretty :o)

    Oooh! I love this! I thought about putting some of our paint into smaller “touch up” containers, but couldn’t think about what would seal well enough to make it worth it! I’ll be doing this!
