Thrifting Décor: Painted Glass Jars & Bottles
Every few years we look around Savvy Central and get that twinkle in our eye that says: things need to change. Furniture needs to be rearranged, tchotchkes need to be shuffled, frames need to be refreshed, thrift stores need to be visited, you get the idea.
This project doesn't actually even need a visit to the thrift store as you can repurpose glass items straight from the recycling bin if you are so moved. All it takes is an assortment of glass jars and bottles, preferably with interesting cuts and bevels.
