It finally feels like fall here! Last week it was in the high 80s and now it's raining and in the 60s...I'm so happy. It's finally time for candlelit evenings! 
I painted my green garage sale candles white and I think they look so much better.
I was so happy to see that my cloche fits perfectly on this dish!
Here are what the candlesticks used to look like:
I saw this commercial on TV last night and I love it! I had to share it with you because it not only has a good message...it will make you smile...Guaranteed!!! And to the few of you out there reading this that I went to high school with, I still have my pom-poms so when I'm 70-something ...
Cindy, WOW!!!! You'd never know they were the same candlesticks!!
ReplyDeleteThey look GREAT!!!! Absolutely good work!!!

ReplyDeleteThe candles turned out great!

ReplyDeleteBrenda
The candle stick makeover turned out great! Love them.
ReplyDeleteDear Cindy, I didn't see that commercial but thanks for showing it to us, it's just an upper, isn't it. Have a Happy Halloween and great weekend. Diane
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween Cindy! Amazing job on the candlestick! Loved the commercial, especially the flappers. :0} Diane
ReplyDeleteLove the candlesticks, and I wanna be an old woman right with ya, sweetie! LOL I haven't the ad but love it too! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy - I loved that commercial!
ReplyDeleteYour candle sticks look beautiful. If I had found them I would have had to paint them black to match my decor!
I love the way the cloche fits perfectly on that pedestal bowl. I'll have to try it. I thought that the candlesticks looked great when you first posted them but I do agree that they do look better painted white. Enjoy ~~ Happy Halloween! Joanne
ReplyDeleteCindy, I just nearly melt when I see what beauty you create. You are truly blessed with talent!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deborah

ReplyDeleteCindy, love how you "re-birthed" those tired candlesticks. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for posting the fun commercial!! :0)

Okay, that was the greatest commercial ever!! I suspect it's more regional to your locale as I've never seen it and to my knowledge, there aren't any Kaiser's around here... I LOVE your candlesticks painted white, and the cloche looks like it was made for that bowl! Happy fall to you in California!...Donna
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThe candlesticks look great!
THose candlesticks are to die for! I love the way you put the cloche on the pedestal dish! I have several- I will have to see if I can find a pretty dish around the house that will fit- great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat video did make me smile thank-you!!
ReplyDeleteGinger

ReplyDeleteCheck out the tea cozy #6, I thought of you ;-)
I was checking out homespun living blog and linked to her etsy shop - it is so cute! I don't know her just liked it ;-)
Enjoy your creative painting!
isn't it just amazing, me and Mr BC call it the Power of Paint, nothing is sacred from it lol! did you age it with stain as well, I've never really got to grips with that...they look beautiful, great inspiration, just what I needed this morning
ReplyDeletethe advert is just too funny, love those old dears with the pom poms, there's hope for me yet to be a cheerleader lol!
Sarah
I love your ability to see things the way they can be. Your vision is amazing. LOVE all the treasures you found!
ReplyDeletePerfection....as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Cindy! I would've overlooked those candlesticks for sure ~ it's so great how you can envision the swan when it's still in the ugly duckling stage!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the commercial!!
Karin
Another beautiful and creative post to inspire me to think outside the box. You did an awesome job on these Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThe candlesticks look 100% better. It takes a good eye to find something in a thrift store and be able to see in your mind how cute it will look after some fixing up, and you do fantastic with that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween.
Ginger
The candlesticks are awesome -- what a dramatic difference. You really should open an ebay shop...I would be buying stuff from you every week! The commercial was so sweet. Love the cloche. The first time I found your blog I went out and bought two glass canisters and a set of white bird salt and pepper shakers...have a feeling I'll be adding a cloche soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!

I already am an old woman.......uhhhhhhh, no, make that ONE HOT CHICK!!!! I left old woman behind long ago, my sweet little chickees!! Squeeeeeeealing with the best of them........Hahahah
ReplyDeleteSmooches,
Connie
Very nice. I have yet to come into that creative mode that knows you can take green candlesticks and paint them white! lol But...I am learning. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou do a remarkable thing with a little paint and stain lady!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sher
Great job on the candlesticks. Now they fit perfectly in your home. Love the cloche over the pumpkin display too! And yes....when I grow up I want to be an old woman having a great time like those ladies!
ReplyDeleteThe candlesticks are so much prettier now!
ReplyDeleteI too want to grow up to be an old woman. :)
Oh they look sooo much better. Really lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat job as always!
Cindy, Well, the candlestick makeover is fabulous...just like everything else you do! Now, about that commercial....you have made THIS sixty-four year old smile today!!! And, for those of you who are young....please look forward to being "an old woman"....it's not bad and most of us feel much younger. My unasked for advice...find something you LOVE to do - it will keep you young at heart...therefore, a younger old woman! I loved the cheerleader..wasn't she a hoot!!! Take care. Pat
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy - thanks for replying. I don't think I've got the knack like you - OK if I send my pile of ironing round to you? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I like the cloche over the bowl too. Seems like everything you touch become beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKady
Great commercial!! Love the music! And I really love your candlesticks! So pretty...and the candles are a perfect pick...so fall-ish.
ReplyDeleteI TAGGED you on my blog...and I'd like to invite you on over to play!
Have a great weekend,
Debi

ReplyDeleteFantastic job with the candlesticks. Isn't wonderful how a bit of paint and imagination can transform most anything. Love the video. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet words on my blog about my Romantic Homes feature. I am so excited to share it with all of you. Enjoy it my friend.

I love how the candlesticks turned out. So pretty and fits in with your decor. Love it! We got rain too. So nice to see the rain again. But currently we are in So Calif for a wedding and will go to Disneyland. It is still raining this morning I think. At least it is wet outside anyway.
ReplyDeleteLove the video!
ReplyDeleteWendy
Love the chunky candel sticks and what a great idea to put the cloche on the bowl! Smartypants!
ReplyDelete~Liz~
I love that redo. I also love your cloche! Where from?
ReplyDeleteFantastic message in the video clip, life is fun and the more we have of it can only be more fun !
ReplyDeleteHow lucky for you cloche to find it's perfect match and those candles sticks, well what doesn't look better with a quick kiss of vintage cream paint?
Thanks for sharing with us all.
Betsy, the cloche is from Marshalls. I bought it last year.
ReplyDeleteFantastic makeover. Those candlesticks look awesome. You really did a beautiful job. What a great project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous commercial - thanks for sharing it! It has one of those jingles that can run around in your head all day - and what a great mantra!
ReplyDeleteAs always, love your transformations of late...everything looks great, but that little side table from a day or so ago really spoke to me. I seem to have a soft spot for unique little side tables. Weird, I know.
I found your blog through My Mom's blog, I absolutely love the candle sticks, your living room looks so cute, I love the shabby chic look myself and am working on it for my own house.
ReplyDeleteThose candlesticks came out awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour candlesticks are lovely. Reminds me I need to get around to re-doing mine someday.
ReplyDeleteLove that commercial! You're right, it sure made me smile.
Gosh, I haven't seen a Kaiser ad in so long. They don't have them out here, of course. I used to work there, ya' know. Longest year of my life. LOL I was an X-ray File Clerk at the Fontana site. X-rays are stored in the basement. That's the year I learned that I cannot survive without windows to the outside world. LOL
