Welcome to the 3rd edition of Trash to Treasure Tuesday.
The one where I ONCE AGAIN forget to take a BEFORE picture.
Just picture wooden wall candle sconces with a dark stain and glossy varnish.
Got it?
Okay, after a good sanding, a coat of Heirloom White, some Mod Podge and scrapbook paper:

I thought that burning candles close to paper would be a NO-NO, so I painted some plastic eggs to perch here.
Here's one on the wall.
I know, now I need to paint those frames and the shelf, they just don't mesh with my "lightened up" decor. The projects are never ending aren't they?
I'm participating in Mod Podge Mania at This is the Year. Check out the projects!
Okay, everyone, let's see those linkies!

Oooh good job with those candle sconces. I see those all the time at Goodwill- maybe I should try this.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I especially love the eggs instead of candles idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my party, and letting me join yours!
I added your link to my post as well!

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I have a bunch of projects that I will hopefully get posted tonight! Hooray for trash, spray paint, and mod podge!
ReplyDeleteHI!! Cute candle holders. I saw your blog on Another Day today's blog.
ReplyDeleteYour sconces look beautiful. I also redid a sconce that I found at a thrift store. I like the idea of an egg rather then a candle. Very smart!!
ReplyDeleteFrom one SITS girl to another...those are awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice job! You make me want to try modge podgin! = )
ReplyDeleteThey look SO nice! And I can totally picture the before - because I'd had several scary pieces like that - dark, glossy and....70's.
ReplyDeleteOkay I may be not quite on track with my submission because it was LITERALLY trash before I made it into something useful.
I seriously think my parents have something like this...with the original brown, of course. These turned out so cute and modern and fresh! I can't wait to visit them next time to see if I can hunt these down! haha!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you mentioned the "idiotic fluid" on my blog...I immediately thought of the several patients and their families that I've had who refer to their telementry monitors as "telepathic monitors." If that was the case, I'm sure they could see me snickering on the inside! Ha!!
OH, and GREAT idea with re-using the glass jars for storage! I love glass anything over plastic...why have I not done this already?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty, love the colors and the eggs, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing~
ReplyDeleteI like how you put the eggs where the candles go...very 'Springy'.

Great new look!
ReplyDeleteMarcela & Clara
Great work. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI really do not think "scrapbook paper" enough. Glad you put it back on the radar! That looks terrific and really updates those sconces.
ReplyDeleteI love your candlesticks, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI linked up...was that for modpodge projects? Because thats what I linked up :-P

Love it!! Super cute, super creative! Of course it is...it's Kimm! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm here for the party, so I linked up a little trash to treasure of my own. Thanks for hosting this each week. It inspires me to create some fun things!
Kim - what a great transformation {and we didn't even need to see that before pic...we knew EXACTLY what you were talking about!!}
ReplyDeleteVery cute - love the eggs!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a similar sconce at the thrift store and have been waiting for a great idea to re-do it. I love this, I will be copying!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sconces!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

What a great idea! My mom probably has some sconces like these stored somewhere. I need to find them and transform them into something fab like you did!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff friend! I have added you to my favs spot I hope you don't mind lots of clever things up in here! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness someone has the creativity to come up with things to do like this and is nice enough to share... I just wouldn't be able to see that!
ReplyDeleteBack again to be inspired Thanks again for letting us join in the fun here and stopping by us as well!! This has been great- so many fabulous ideas and re-dos!!

I love love love your stuff, I wish we lived close so you could show me how to get such great stuff from the thrift store
ReplyDeleteI love your little egg idea there..very cleaver and ever so cute!
ReplyDeleteI am copying this sconce idea! Love it! My Mom gave me a pair of old ones last summer that I've had hiding under my bed trying to figure out what to do with.
ReplyDeleteIf you WOULD want to burn candles - get yourself some glass hurricanes to put on. Mine come with the glass, so I plan on using candles in mine after I refinish.
