Trash to Treasure Tuesday

I've been wanting to participate in Trash To Treasure Tuesday over at Reinvented for quite some time now.  I did this little transformation a little while back when I went hog wild with the Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.  I've had this brass candle holder for at least 30 years and loved it.  I actually found it stuck in the very back of my junk closet, hiding, and thought it would be great transformed to the more updated colors that I have in my house. Brass had it's place here at one time, but no more.......I'd love to know what you think!

I love it!  Now I am on the hunt for accessories to go with it and a pretty new home for it somewhere in my house.  Don't forget to stop by Reinvented and see all the great posts there, they are so fun to see.....

My First Ever Metamorphosis Monday and Do It Yourself Day Tuesday Post

AND

I am so excited to get to participate in my very first Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I'll also be participating in Do It Yourself Day on Tuesday over at A Soft Place to Land with Kimba. My little projects are just that, little. However, they make a big impact at our house. The first one is a plant stand that I've had forever. The top had been torn off and the legs were rusting out. I didn't know that that until I found the stain on my kitchen tile, yikes. I used Krylon Paint in Oil Rubbed Bronze and modge podged the top with scrapbook paper in a pretty design.

Next I had a very cheap looking gold plastic mirror that was given to me years ago.  I had tried to antique it a long time ago.  It really helped to tone that awful gold down but it was still not working that well in my dining area.  I used my new best friend Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze on it too.  I was just amazed at how that cheap little mirror instantly put weight on!  It looks like a very beautiful heavy mirror now.  I am just giddy with excitement.

Can you believe it?  Sorry about the picture quality.  The cloudy weather is making my already bad photo taking abilities even worse.  Now I'm off to spray paint anything else that I can find that isn't nailed down.....

Don't forget to check out the other great transformations at Between Naps On The Porch and A Soft Place to Land.
