My previous post of my little Birdie planter was another and I hope to show you my Mango Toolbox next! (I'm Girling up my toolbox people!) Plus, I'm ashamed to say, there are a few more almost finished projects just waiting in the wings. :) I know you understand!
First, I found this tall sort of gangly candlestick holder for $2.00 at Goodwill! Good lines and bones here I am not disappointed! You will see in later pictures that the proportions are off in this picture. I was in a silly rush on the before photo and didn't get the proportions captured right (Meaning, the base is not smaller than the top. Still learning Haha!) And let me explain that I use and reuse an old shower curtain for spraying. That's why there are often different colors in my pictures. (Like the pink from my yet another unwritten post)
I wanted to try the new Krylon Dual spray but not all the colors are available here just yet. So I went with the Ivory Dual first. Worked like a charm but I was feeling a little more color here. So I sprayed it with some Krylom Ocean Breeze I had in my ever growing collection of spray paint.
Didn't have to do anything else because it sort of distressed itself. Just wrapped some twine around the top and added a Starfish. How easy is that? And I love the shabby beachy look. Love it even without a candle! Haha - I will get one for it soon!
To think that I originally bought this for my oldest son, Jace, and his new house. Sorry buddy - I'm keeping it.

Mimi, your candlestick is beautiful! It reminds me of something I'd find in one of my favorite coastal living inspired boutiques downtown. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a part of "A Little Birdie Told Me..." and an extra big thank you for being not only a creative contributor, but for also taking the time to make the party a success by visiting others. I happened to glance over a comment that you left for one of the party-goers this week, and it really warmed my heart to know that people are connecting and supporting each other. You're the best!
