A Simple Re-do...

  Lately I have been wanting to add a certain something to my simple little coffee table, I just wasn't sure what I wanted. After digging through some of my old decorations from our last house I came across these old black candlesticks & was reminded of some candle sticks in the latest Pottery Barn catalog. A little paint & some distressing & I made some knock-off Pottery Barn Candlesticks for free...

Candlesticks Before...



After...


I am so happy with the final product.. what a difference! & they add such a great little touch to my coffee table.




With some antique white paint & a little sanding, this project took less than forty five minutes.


I have wanted candlesticks like this from Pottery Barn for a few months now, but didn't want to pay the price.. I am so happy with how they turned out.










I even had these candles laying around in my house & the paint was left over from a previous project, so this little DIY was really free. & I LOVE FREE!!! I hope you all enjoyed this simple little re-do, it's the little details that really make a difference in the feel of your room.

  30. These turned out great. I'm actually on a mission for new candlestick holders, I will keep this in mind, that I can just paint them if I don't love them but do love the price. Thanks!

  32. They look fantastic. The shape of those candles was great to begin with and the white knocks them right outta the park. :-) I would love it if you'd link this up to my Marvelous Mess party. I will be choosing one project to be featured on my sidebar for a week!! Here is the link: http://marvelouslymessy.blogspot.com/2011/02/marvelous-mess_20.html

  35. Love it! I'm also impressed with how shiny your black wood is. No matter how much I dust (and it feels like daily) my black wood furniture doesn't shine like that.
