Spray Paint + $1.25 Candle Holder = LOVE

You know I love to yard sale... So when I found this, for $1.25 I knew it was love at first sight. Well, maybe not exactly, but I knew it had potential!


I contemplated spray painting it black, white or turquoise. After a considerable debate in my head, I opted for white. I choose white because when I get bored of it being white, I can spray it a different colour! So a couple coats later...


I know that this is ideal to hold candles but I was thinking outside the box a little when I was having a little photo shoot...


Loving the white and the green apples! So bright and cheery!
Holding some jute wrapped pears. Kinda shabby!


With my thumb tack balls! Everyone is loving these - but I can't take the credit, really. I just copied a project I saw that I loved. Why re-invent the wheel?


And with a combination of EVERYTHING! I think it's so fun and was totally worth the $1.25. Plus, it can be altered with different things every season. Hope you like my find just as much as I do!


Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend!

    I LOVE this! I would have definately snatched that up as well. I love the swirls and scrolls of the design! (And I'm one of those that adore those thumb tack balls - they are on my too do list) :-)

    Love it! I ran across one last weekend but didn't get it. I've been kicking myself ever since. Paint does wonders!

    This is stunning!! I especially love the photos with the apples. That green is amazing against the white! I found you through the newbie party, and I'm following now. :)
