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!

February 14, 2016 at 1:19 amI 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.

February 14, 2016 at 2:30 amHi 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?

February 28, 2017 at 10:10 pmHi 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.

March 28, 2018 at 2:50 pmHi! 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!

January 28, 2019 at 7:40 amDo the kids fit tight or are they loose?

January 29, 2019 at 2:39 pmMine seal – they’re not loose at all, but they’re also not hard to remove.
