What up what UP? Are you ready for a fabulous holiday weekend? I’m looking forward to bunches of family and friend time and TONS of fireworks. And lots of food. Lots. :)
I’m so excited about a little project I finished up today and I couldn’t wait to show you. My first day of No-Spend July went off without a hitch – I already had everything for this project. (And have for awhile.)
It all started with a chunky candlestick I found at Goodwill last year (yes, last year) for $4. The process was pretty simple, and I took pics of all of the details for your viewing pleasure. ;)
First up, the I-like-em-chunky candlestick:
No sanding here peeps, just some cleaning:
(I. hate. sanding.)
A wooden plate from Hob Lob:
(On sale…holllaaa!)
Some Liquid Nails around the top:
I laid the plate on the floor and did everything upside down so I could see to make sure it was centered:
A couple coats of spray primer:
And then a coat of Heirloom White:
I like eggshell or satin for furniture projects, but glossy will do just fine!
After it dried I scuffed it up a bit:
Because I didn’t want it too look like there was a PLATE sitting on top (even though there was), I added a mirror from Hob Lob:
Half off, in the candle section.
I didn’t even glue it – just set it in the center. It was a perfect fit:
And now I have an itty bitty table perfect for this small spot:
I LOVE IT. Seriously…in love.
Love that candle too – have you seen the little holders at Bath and Body Works? Super cute, and that one was only $3.50.
The table is surprisingly sturdy – the candlestick is nice and heavy (the bottom is weighted). It holds a drink or the remote just fine, and that’s all I need. ;)
I know many of you are so excited to see the sectional!! The room has been a mess with holes in the walls, drywall dust and sawdust lately…but I will show you the space next week for SURE. I’m SO excited to show you! Hang in there with me!
I hope you have a wonderful, fun and SAFE holiday weekend!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
and
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
