I have been planning to (re)organize my kitchen for a while now, so I decided to start working on that a few days ago.
The first step was designing some labels, because it could not be called a (re)organizing of the kitchen without some labels, right?
I decided to go for a vintage look and started with an image from The Graphics Fairy. I think you already know I’m a huge fan of the amazing images

I made the labels in Photoshop and I thought I should start with the most usual ones. Sugar and coffee were the very first things that came to my mind and then… nothing could stop me :)
I made labels for all the things I already use in my kitchen and a few more that might come in handy someday. I printed the labels on waterslide decal paper and trimmed them carefully close to the borders. Depending on what colors you have in your kitchen, you can choose to print them on waterslide decal paper like I did, or you can print them on white or colored paper/cardboard.
You can even add a nice colored/white string and hang them by jars, cans, tin boxes or any other recipients you have in your kitchen – or you can directly glue them to the recipients.
Then I painted with acrylics, aged and distressed all tin boxes I put in storage for a while (hoping to use them someday).
I also tried to age some glass jars and I was really happy to discover that you can give glass an antiqued look :)
UPDATE

Buna.
De unde pot achizitiona aceste acrilice? Si ce fel de pensule folosesti pentru a vopsi borcanele din sticla?
Caut de multa vreme ceva dragut in magazine pentru a depozita condimentele, insa sunt destul de scumpe.
Dupa ce le-am vazut pe ale tale mi-ar placea sa mi le fac si eu.
Multumesc.

Buna, Paula
Eu folosesc acrilice de la Pentart (negru) & de la Maimeri (alb), astea se muleaza cel mai bine pe nevoile mele :)
Pensulele sunt sintetice, le gasesti aici: http://www.complexart.ro/set-12-pensule-sintetice-oferta-speciala-407056.html
Am urmat aceiasi pasi ca si in tutorialul cu transformarea cartilor:

Hi from Portugal.
Can you tell me what font you used? I want to make some, but write them in Portuguese.
Thanks

Hi Teresa, sorry for the late answer.
The font is called The King & Queen, you can find it on Dafont here – https://www.dafont.com/the-king-queen-font.font.
Have fun creating your Portuguese labels! :)
