      The purpose of the article is to get your creative juices flowing, not necessarily to have you copy what you see. Not everyone has an immaculate double car garage to start with. I don’t even have a garage, but a carport and I have done some really cool things there. Be a little more open minded.

    I’m not sure that storing paint in jars is a good idea. More than 10 years ago, I sponge painted my bathroom. I mixed 4 or 5 custom colors to sponge over the solid base coat. I poured the left over mixed colors into baby food jars. Now they are either dried out or the lids are stuck on so I can’t use the colors for touch ups. Some of the paint on the walls has blistered and cracked even though I added glaze and I have no way to duplicate the colors to make repairs. I will probably just cover some of them with small pictures or wide hooks for bathrobes, which are much needed anyway.

      Mason jars have a different type of lid – sort of a plate and a ring. If paint is left in there for ages and gets onto the plate, you can still pop it off and replace the plate – or both the plate and ring. If paint gets stuck to a baby jar lid, you’ll have a hard time twisting off the lid.

      Or ……. you could just try not to get any paint on any of the lids until you try to open the jar. Hope that helps.
