Bon jour, Mon Amis!
You may have noticed how much I love mirrors. And candle holders. Combine the two, and I am in heaven!
I found this pair a few weeks ago, while out treasure hunting in down town Seattle. Of course, they didn't start out life looking like this! Oh, no!
This is their "before". While I thought they were pretty, they weren't quite the look that I was going for.
So, I began by adding these gorgeous wooden appliques. I really love adding these to projects, to create interest and give a more "vintage" feel and character, too!
Since light blue is my very favorite color, I painted them a soft baby blue. Love this shade!
While I would love to keep them, I will be adding them to my Etsy shop. Since we are moving soon, I just can't keep everything! ***sigh***
Here's one last look! Now go out and find something that you can transform, and have fun with it!I'm linking up with Debra over at Common Ground, for Vintage Inspiration Friday. Be sure to visit, for tons of inspiring ideas!
Wow, what a difference. More! More!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
ReplyDeleteLeave it up to you to transform something plain into a real pretty.
I love them.

Great transformation, Donna. I love them and know you would keep them if you could. Happy packing? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Donna. They are pretty cute. You might want to rethink that!
ReplyDeleteAnother darling makeover. Love that shade of blue. I used your special "hello" card on a craft today (see blog). I've been sneaking downstairs and using my crutches.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
What a transformation, Donna...I need to start looking at things this way!
ReplyDeleteOh these are gorgeous, Donna!!! They'll be flying off your shelf, for certain!!! I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteXO
