THRIFTY THURSDAY

I have been longing for this chandy forever since last summer,
when i saw one like it on our local FB swap....but that was in August and...
August is no time to be messin' with any fanciful idea.
Being mature responsible I let it pass....at $40.
However I didn't forget and have since been searching Craig's list,
Habitat store, GW, Savers to no avail...
until a couple weeks ago!
Craig's list located near SF and coincided with appts!!
for $25
so stinkin' thrilled
 down with the old!
  ...and up with the newly painted chandy

Love the new look!
...and if i want to change it up a bit,
 I can add little shades that look super sweet on the
chandy
spray painted with 
Rustoleum
oil rubbed bronze primer/paint and then an over coat of  flat black primer/ paint

I like the way yours turned out too! I really debated about painting the "candlestick" part white or black. They were a lovely ivory color so there was no way they were being left "as is" :)
