Supplies:

  • candlesticks
  • 220 grit sandpaper 
  •  1/2 inch inch artist’s brush,
  • this beautiful sea glass blue colored ‘Inglenook’ mineral paint that leaves a silky smooth, flat finish!

 

Tutorial Directions:

I bought this large chunky wooden candlestick at the thrift store a few weeks ago for $2.99!

 I immediately fell in love with the shape of it, all  of it’s curves and the fact that it was over sized – the perfect size for a pillar candle…and it’s price!

I gave it a light quick scuff sanding with 220 grit sandpaper .

With a 1/2 inch inch artist’s brush I gave it two quick coats of this stunning sea glass blue colored paint.

I love how my thrift store candlestick turned out! It adds the perfect pop of coastal color to my home!

I have it sitting on my beautiful salt-oak finished bookcase in my home office along with more thrift store finds –  a thrift store vintage map of Virginia (where we lived for 3 years) that I put in a black frame and pieces of coral we’ve collected at the beaches we’ve visited in the past.

      I agree Nickeya! Thrifting is like going on a treasure hunt! Lately my thrift store has had all kinds of great things – for a long time it didn’t. I glad you like the color too – it’s so beachy!

    Heather,

    I love recycling things that people don’t need anymore. It so exciting & Fund. The color you chose is perfect and you can always change it anytime you want. The little jar next to it looks like you’ve got a label on it from where the shells are from, this is an amazing idea. Can I see the whole jar?
    Thanks for your creativeness & for sharing it with everyone.

    Kind Regards,
    Cynthia
