Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going good.
I wanted to show you how I used some old salvage pieces of wood for candle holders.
 |
| Just found some old table legs and chippy stair posts to make these candle holders. Simple and easy they were already chippy and had the screws coming through the top to sink the candle on. |
 |
| Just a very easy way to add some charm to candles. |
 |
| My Living Room looks so lonely since I sold my slipcovered sectional. I am hoping to get my new leather sectional soon. In the meantime Terry still has his comfy recliner and I pulled my chair out from the corner. So it is all good. Hope your week is starting off great. Make sure to come back on Saturday for Spotlight. Susan and I have two wonderful bloggers for you to get to know. Kris :) |

Love your shabby chic candlesticks. What a great up cycle!
ReplyDeleteKris... you are soo creative!... your candle holders are just beautiful!... and your room still looks cozy and inviting... I can just picture some fresh cut evergreens around your candles at Christmastime... xoxo... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI pinned your living room. It is so pretty. Now I need to look through your blog and see if you made that amazing cabinet that we see at the end of the room. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Your house is so beautiful!

ReplyDeletegreat candle holders and to think I had some of those and sold them at one of my decluttering yard sales LOL
Kris, Those are great candlesticks. Will look wonderful in Christmas décor. Hope you get your new sofa soon. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteLoving your candle holders, very nice addition Kris. Your LR will look so stunning when the new sectional arrives you and Terry will not get off it for days!!! I like the trunk next to your chair, is that a new found treasure?

the extra candle light will be perfect for the holidays coming up:) love them, kris! can't wait to see the new sofa!
ReplyDeleteI love your candle holder idea! They look so pretty with their chippy goodness!
ReplyDeleteYour LR does look a bit empty without the sofa. Can't wait to see what you ordered and how it will fit into your space. Your candle sticks are great but I'm in love with your little side table next to your chair! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you clever! I never would have thought to use table legs as candle holders! I love that the built in screw can hold the candle in place too. Very smart! Hopefully your leather will arrive soon. I just noticed how gorgeous your wood floors are!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I will definitely be on the lookout for some of those. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new sofa. I love the candlesticks.
ReplyDeleteSo-Kris----what do you say to me moving in???? I just love your home and know I could sleep in the recliner if need be!
ReplyDeleteI really love your candlesticks. SO pretty!
sending hugs...

Hi Kris, you are so talented and I love how the candle sticks turned out. They look so charming in your vignette. Your LR is gorgeous and I bet you are excited for your new leather sofa. It will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by sweet friend.
Have a great rest of the week.
Hugs
Just lovely, I can't wait to see thsofa in that room. Loving the candlesticks. Di@Cottage-Wishes
ReplyDeleteLove the candlesticks, in fact I am on the hunt for more for my home this holidays season.
ReplyDeleteAs for the sofa I think the new darker one will not even effect the look of your room and the welcoming feeling of awwwws! to it.
I can't wIt for you to post the new look!
See you soon Kris and all the white beauty you create.

Great idea for those extra chippy table legs, Kris! You could always light the candles and waltz around your spacious room until your new furniture arrives. :)
ReplyDeleteI like those old painted table legs being repurposed as candlesticks! I've always wondered what to do with those when I see them at an antique store.
ReplyDeleteOld Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
ReplyDeleteTo get her poor doggy a bone,
But on the way there she noticed her living room was bare
So she said--Oh What have I done?
While she waits for a new couch
She certainly won't slouch
She'll make candle holders out of a post.
And when she is done,
She have even more fun
And make Terry a big old beef roast.
yeah- it's late and I am still crazy.......
Love your white chippy candle sticks...so pretty!! I have a brown micro-suede sofa that we have had for years and we just recently saw a brown leather sofa that I would love to have. I know you will love your new sofa.

Your candleholders look great! I love the angel wings you have displayed with them too. Your livingroom is looking a little lonely--looking forward to seeing what you find for a couch! Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea,Kris. Love your candleholders. Your home is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Marie

Kris, I'm going out today looking for some thrift store finds. Hopefully I'll get lucky! You have such great ideas with using recyclable furniture! Thanks for sharing another creative idea! Happy Thursday!

Kris, great job and so clever, but you are always like that!..I am so anxious to see your new sectional. I am going to replace our sectional with a leather sofa so like to see what is being offered out there..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteThese are great Kris, they look nice and old
ReplyDeleteCindy
I like the idea: it makes the candles so tall and white candles on white candles stick on a white chest? Swoon!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, I just love white! So calming and pure. I am not receiving your posts. ((HUGS)) Jo
ReplyDeletesooooooo pretty and a leather sofa in that room is going to be the cat's pajamas!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove them all grouped together Kris! I have a few I have picked up. Got me thinkin girl. lol!
ReplyDeletehugs,

Great idea for candle sticks - they really look good. I hate to tell you what a paid for two a few years ago. Your new couch will look so good in your living room. I know your excited to receive it. - hope it's coming soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Mary
Looks beautiful! I've used posts like that before but I spray painted mine black. :) Your home is so gorgeous! Anxious to see the new sofa.

Love your wooden candle holders! And I can't wait to see your new sofa too! I'll be back tomorrow for your features!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your style and you and Terry are so creative! I adore your candlesticks and wish I had an old table to take apart. I have inherited all my father's saws and tools and we are kinda clueless, but we did cut some shelf planks for my craft room last weekend...does that count??? I haven't been receiving your posts, but was glad to catch up with you today! Minnesota is gonna be in the low teens early next week and talking snow... bet Illinois isn't any better, I'm dreaming of white... but white sand, not snow!
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!
Great idea for making candle holders. They look so nice in your decor! Nancy
