Candlestick Redo


Thanks to Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick, I have been introduced to Rust-oleum Metallic Spray paint in oil rubbed bronze. I have been trying it on several projects around the house, but here's my favorite one so far.


My mom picked up these 3 ceramic candleholders at a thrift store for $1 each - notice one has an original price of $9.99. They were in great condition without a single chip.











I tend to favor warmer tones in my home and these were just a little too white. So they sat and sat in the basement all summer long. Finally, inspiration hit! With two coats of rubbed oil bronze and a few apple pie candles from Walmart, they are a perfect fit in my living room. I just hope my mom doesn't want them back when she comes to visit next month!

  1. I was searching for inspiration for a redo of some ceramic candlesticks, but hadn't thought about painting them with oil-rubbed bronze. Yours turned out so attractive! The bronze paint really brings out the detail, and they look warm and beautiful, especially with the red candles. Thanks for sharing.
