I receive questions all the time about my inexpensive glass kitchen canisters. Years ago I decided I HAD to have class canisters similar to the ones I saw on Ella Claire: A Creative Blog.
Aren’t those canisters amazing?!
I loved the large size of the canisters in Ella Claire’s kitchen, but I envisioned only three of them in my kitchen. Also, I’m really obsessed with gold right now, so I wanted gold lids. I found my glass canisters on Amazon, and I spray painted the lids with gold spray paint. Here are the affiliate links for the *canister(s) and the spray paint:

*I went with the 2 gallon size.
The canisters have been around for years now. They were in my old kitchen…
…and they made the cut and are in my DIY newly renovated kitchen.
I love the large size and the simplicity of the canisters, and the gold painted lids were the finishing touch!
I’m on a search for pretty gold or wooden scoops for them. If anyone finds a good source, please let me know!

They look fantastic!
Thanks so much, Stacey!
I’m in love. Thank you!
I bought the anchor hocking glass canisters, but the 1.5 gallon was way too big for my counter tops. I love them though. What other size do you suggest for sugar/flour? I had to buy off line because we live in a super small town.
Hi Misty! I’m so sorry the canisters were too big for your kitchen. I would guess the 1 gallon size would be plenty big – if you think they would be small enough for your space?
Is your spray paint food safe? I want to color my canister lids as well and I have not been able to find food safe spray paint. Love the look of your canisters.
Hi Ewa. No it’s not, but I only spray painted the outside of the lids. Unfortunately I don’t know of any spray paint that is food safe.
Love them! You have such great style and taste!
Thank you Gretchen!
Hi! I have no idea why, but I am not getting any links to the jars or the paint. Don’t need the jars but I’m curious to the paint. It’s not the bright bright gold and I like that. Would you mind giving me the link, please? Thank you!
It’s actually Rustoleum’s metallic gold paint. I use it all the time, and I love the finish!
Do the kids fit tight or are they loose?
Mine seal – they’re not loose at all, but they’re also not hard to remove.
