DIY Upcycle Old Junky Finds Into Something New! You can transform anything with a little spray paint! I found these brass candlestick holders and lamp base at a thrift shop and did a good scrubbing with dish soap. For the paint, I prefer Valspar because it covers really nice, dries super fast and seems to work in colder, more humid places like Seattle! I found the most variety of colors at our local Fred Meyer supermarket rather than at the home improvement stores.
The rim of this candle holder was chipped so I glued a lid from a jar with my E-6000 glue. I sprayed everything with a coat of primer and let it dry.
I added several coats of the turquoise and now I have something fresh and new! The tray was an old black Pottery Barn wood tray I already had and wasn't using. Super simple DIY project.
Feel free to post links to your spray paint make-over projects!
They look so much more fun and spring-y compared to the originals. They go well with your vases from the other day!

ReplyDeleteMary, Thanks so much! I just saw an end table made from a bigger lamp base; very cool!
