Candelabra Make Over

Several months ago my daughter over at Three Men and A Lady sent me a candelabra. She had ordered one and it came damaged, so because my DH is a welder (among many other talents) and could fix it she sent it to me, after the company sent her a new one and didn't want the broken one back. It took me a while to do the make over but I found out why the other day.

Here it is stripped and ready for paint, after its repair. Thanks honey.
Cute isn't it?























These are the original crystals and I planned to put them back on the candelabra...........



















after I gave it a new color. The color I chose is a Bronze, using Kylon's hammered finish for indoor and outdoor use.























Then one day, as I was visiting blogs on Pink Saturday @ How Sweet the Sound, I discovered a blog that really captured my attention, the colors in her header stopped me in my tracks and what is interesting about that is, I don't generally like these colors................ya know blues......I know alot of people just love blue, but I am not one of them










That blog is Design DNA, isn't it just beautiful? Still takes my breath away each time I see them. By the way go over and visit Her @ Design DNA, she is holding a flee market with other vendors and the proceeds go to help rebuild homes destroyed by natural disasters.




Note: It has come to may attention that the flea market is over, but donations are still being accepted, please go and visit at Design DNA, you will be glad you did.

Well it is because of Her beautiful header that I began looking for my own aqua crystals, which I found on Ebay @

Here they are..........................

Beautiful aren't they, so now I had the drive to finish this project.

Here are few pictures of the finished candelabra. I have included several shots, since I can't seem to get a good picture.

Turned out beautifully, and I am enjoying it in my kitchen window where it catches the sun light and casts rainbows around the room. Thank you DD and Her for the inspiration and the beautiful candelabra.
