some blue glass

so.. i see blogger is different now.  hummm.  i'll have to check that out.  I haven't been on here much lately.  Since we got back from our trip to Jax... and decided to Build a house... i spend a good bit of time now on Pinterest and houzz.com  collecting ideas and inspirations for home decor.  Love it!

but today i decided to do one of the Pinterest projects I've been wanting to try.  It was fun and fresh..
for spring!  i wanted to try painting glass to make it look vintage.
here is the link i used 
1tsp Mod Podge + 2 drops blue food coloring + 1 drop green food coloring + 1/2 tsp. water.
 it's pretty runny, but not dripping off.  i painted one even coat and let it dry.....
                                           2 baby food jars that make perfect votive holders
                                            dollar store bowl

i just love how this came out... so pretty!
i set the votive jars on top of candle sticks.. i guess you can't see them well here.. but they look cute.
I also spray painted an old basket white for a fresh finish.
Then painted the mason jars turquoise.. love!

    I really like the lemon dish! What a nice subtle splash of color. It turned out really well.

    I really love that shade of blue. It reminds me of sea glass.

    Totally diggin' the lemon bowl!

    Thanks for linking up at the UFO party!
