Ten Minutes and a Can of Spray Paint

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!! With the Nester!

It's not a date, really, but she did invite me over.

To her 10 Minutes to a Room You Love linky party.

Alas, I've been fretting all day because I had nothing to wear. Or was it nothing to share?

My master bedroom makeover is taking WAY longer than 10 minutes, so I thought I'd share just a tiny space, the top of my dresser.

Here's the UGLY before (I know, I know, the dresser isn't the ONLY problem):

Lots of clutter, which I hate, even thought it doesn't look like it right now. I prefer a few larger items with big impact than lots of small knicknacks.

At my favorite shopping destination, the Goodwill store, I had found some mismatched wooden candlesticks that fit the bill. And a plate. If you're lookin' for a plate and you can't find it at the Goodwill, then there's somethin' wrong with ya.

So sorry, forgot the "before" picture (of the candlesticks).

I paid $5.96 total for these. Already had the bird, I love her because she's chunky. Nester says to make our rooms reflect the people who live there, right? Now, soon I will have actual CANDLES, but that would've taken more than 10 minutes, and I was already late, so...
