Do you have any obsessions? I mean, are there things that you are just crazy about, like chocolate, anything pink, or perhaps shoes? I just realized that one of my obsessions is candle holders! Wall sconces, candle lit chandeliers, tea lights, candelabras, you name it! If you can stick a candle in it, I love it!! When I am out hunting for treasures to transform, they are usually the first thing that catches my eye and that I gravitate towards.
Today I wanted to share with you some sconces and candle holders that I just finished and have put in my Etsy shop.
Ok, I'm a bad blogger again! I forgot to take pictures of these Syrocco wall sconces that I discovered on our trip to the Upper Peninsula. When I found them, they were a gaudy gold, ugh! So I gave them a makeover with a pretty shade of light blue, then some distressing and glazing.
I love anything with an acorn motif, so I was so excited when I found these pretty candlesticks! They originally were a harvest gold. Not terrible, but I think they look oh, so much better Heirloom White!!
Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do? Well, that's about it for tonight. Hope you are having a great one!
I've joined up with the following linky parties. Be sure to check them out for some amazing ideas!

Hi Donna!
Do I have obsessions!!!! I have so many that I can't list them all. I love your candle holder transformations. I really like the color you used on the sconces and the destressing details.

I love the white ones with the acorns! I seem to be attracted to acorns too. I just pulled out a gravy boat I forgot I had with acorns on it.
Hi Donna...I am loving those sconces!!! That flower just pulls your eye to it. Great job of taking the drab to fab!!

Well, Donna- I can see that we will never be able to shop together. We would be arm wrestlung for all things candle-ish! lol
I love those sconces that you painted/glazed blue. I'll bet they were gold before weren't they? Nice job! Hugs- Diana
Hi Donna- you make some pretty awesome stuff here! Love sconces, too. You can never have too many, that's for sure!
Hope you are having the best kind of day and enjoy all your obsessions!

PS. You totally need to make a trip back to Ireland for some Waterford :)
The Syrocco candle holders are gorgeous and I am all about acorns too.
These turn out so pretty, thanks so much for sharing!
I love all the details of the things you choose!! They turned out gorgeous (trust me...even without pictures, I'm pretty sure I know what they looked like.) ;)
I love anything to do with candles too. Your candle holders are beautiful and the colours are gorgeous.
