I quickly overwhelmed this space with about 100 jars of Floquil paint.  I prefer Floquil paint and snap them up whenever I find them at a good deal so this has lead to quite a pile of jars.  The paint jars took up quite a bit of space on the bench so I decided this time to make a drawer dedicated for the paints.  Not wanting them sliding all over the place when the drawer is opened and closed I make a divider to hold the jars steady.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VEENwG5lI\/AAAAAAAAAjQ\/-92c5-6QG_s\/DSC_4488.jpg?imgmax=800\" rel=\"lightbox[post-1197819124]\" title=\"Jar holder in place.\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VEENwG5lI\/AAAAAAAAAjQ\/-92c5-6QG_s\/s288\/DSC_4488.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_4488.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/lh3.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VD69wG5kI\/AAAAAAAAAjI\/qQmSI27cOws\/Paint%20Jar%20Holder%202.jpg?imgmax=800\" rel=\"lightbox[post-1197819124]\" title=\"Unnecessary 3D rendering of paint jar holder drawer insert.\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh3.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VD69wG5kI\/AAAAAAAAAjI\/qQmSI27cOws\/s288\/Paint%20Jar%20Holder%202.jpg\" alt=\"Paint Jar Holder 2.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VEFNwG5mI\/AAAAAAAAAjY\/yOfu5nBwAZ0\/DSC_4491.jpg?imgmax=800\" rel=\"lightbox[post-1197819124]\" title=\"Collection of Floquil paints in place.\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VEFNwG5mI\/AAAAAAAAAjY\/yOfu5nBwAZ0\/s288\/DSC_4491.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_4491.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/lh5.google.com\/TimWarris\/R2VEGdwG5nI\/AAAAAAAAAjg\/rL5fb7FLtVo\/DSC_4495.jpg?imgmax=800\" rel=\"lightbox[post-1197819124]\" title=\"Enough storage for 140 jars of paint.

One advantage of keeping them inverted is that they never dry out this way, I have some jars that are over 10 years old and are still and good as new.<\/p>\n<p>-Tim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawer insert.
