For the Four Legger

You know how much we love our Four Legger around here.  She is our first baby and Jemma tells everyone it is her sister!  

She loves her treats and we needed a place to put them other than the ugly box on the kitchen counter.  I had bought this dog treat jar from Longaberger years ago when I sold their products.   I basically did it to support my basket habit!  I loved this jar, but the blue doesn't go at all.  Then it hit me!  SPRAY PAINT!!!  I primed it and hit it up with the good ol' Almond color.  I was going to rub some Burnt Umber on it, but I don't know how it will look.  What do you think?



It looks so beautiful on the counter now and all those treats are hidden away!

  1. Amazing what a can of spray paint can do! Try the burnt umber on the back side, if you don't like it no one will see it. Or just spray again!

  3. Love it's new color but I do think a little highlight of burnt umber would look really great!

  8. Keep it a solid color, Kathryn! Looks good- it's clean and it coordinates w/the counter and back splash. :-)

  11. Love it and it does look very nice out with other things, but yet hidden away as you have it! Loving your fall and Thanksgiving themed blog layout too! Hope you had a happy one!

  13. That's what I call thinking outside the box! Only a fellow blogger would understand. LOL! Thanks for your visit today and your sweet comment. Give that beautiful Jemma a smooch for me.

  14. I wish I had saved some things that were in the wrong color now knowing I could've redone them like you. I didn't know you could repaint something that had that shiny glaze on it like that. That turned out great!

  17. Ah, the power of spray paint! Your dog treat jar looks great in white. I'd leave it just as it is - although if you rub it with some Burnt Umber and don't like it, you could just spray it again :-)
