Goodwill Before and After: Candelabra Makeover

I found this nifty candelabra at goodwill and figured it needed to lighten up. A bit of left over glossy white spray paint should do the trick.

Much better..

Next I picked up some glass beads in clear and turquoise from our local big box store along with some tea-light holders in a heavy glass. Not bad for $.50 each. I used heavy upholstery thread in white to tie on the beads. It doesn't show against the white metal where I tied it on, unless you look close. I decided to convert it to tealights as the long tapers tend to blow wax around our house when lit do to the breeze of little stomping feet running by.



I think it turned out nicely.. I may go back and distress it with some chalk paint.. but for now it looks pretty and summery the way it is.
