Pretty.....Ugly

I've been cleaning my fool head off getting this house up to snuff for the sale.  Sometimes I apparently become violent and something goes flying and gets broken.

The globe on this little light was a victim of my crazy dusting this weekend and at first I was upset because I really like little accent lights.

Hmmmmm, I thought, perhaps all is not lost.

Perhaps I can use one of my favorite things to replace the globe and create an even nicer accent light.

It was the perfect fit!  

My pictures don't do it justice because I can't capture the true color of the Ball jar and how nice it looks lit up next to my swivel chalkboard.

But I like it! 

 So much so that I tried it on an older victim that I had put away awhile ago.

It too looks really great in my old hutch.

Now, on to the ugly.... (avert your eyes, if you must.)

I hate to even make you look at this, but I am out of ideas on how to clean it.

I've bleached it, put it in the dishwasher, scrubbed it with comet and scrubbies, tried the "magic" sponges, various cleaners, vinegar, lemon juice....

Any ideas?

Here's to a great week!
