Thrift store candle holder redo

Hi Nesters!

I've been quite busy lately crafting/repurposing/upcycling (pick your word of the moment).  Here's another thrift store find ($1.00) that I hope inspires you to view things in a new way.

When I spied this little beauty, I knew the pewter finish wouldn't match my decor but I liked the size and shape.  I also knew I had some oil rubbed bronze spray paint at home so I brought the candle holder (it holds a taper or a pillar) home with me.

This was one of the easiest redo's ever.  1 coat of Rust-Oleum grey spray primer, 2 coats of Rust-Oleum oil rubbed bronze spray paint, and voila!

  1. Hi Robyn! It looks lovely! I've purchase about 6 candle holders in the last month!

  2. I have so much stuff left to me by greatgran, gran and various aunties that all I really want is to have clean, empty space EVERYWHERE. After I have enjoyed this for lets say 5 years, I might think of getting my OWN stuff for decorating purposes :D
    I envy those who are free of "inheritance" and can do whatever they please in their own homes.
