| Grand Standing Taper Candle Holder |
A set of black, iron candle holders is something I wanted for awhile now. I found a pair at Pottery Barn, but they were too tall and more than what I'd pay for candlesticks.
I have a similar pair that I love, mounted on the wall in our entryway. They were priced a lot cheaper for the pair.
I remembered the set I had collecting dust in the garage and decided to give them a makeover.
To back up a bit, I purchased this set of candle holders for cheap at a flea market. As the color scheme in my house changed the greenish patina no longer appealed to me.
To get started, I purchased a can of Rust-Oleum black spray paint in a flat finish. You could change the candle holders out to whatever color you want. I wanted to create a wrought iron finish.
I really love the new look. Now, they're more my style! I love decorating with black accent pieces. They add a more dramatic feel to the room.
They look fantastic Brandi. I actually prefer the shape and size of yours to the tall skinny ones at PB. A friend of mine years ago shared with me that just adding one or two black pieces to a room could really make a huge impact. She was even a fan of black candles. I was hesitant about those in the beginning, but they really do add a bit of drama.
ReplyDeletethey look great Brandi! I have never thought about adding black to my home because of the brown. I just recently added a black iron headboard to my guest room and actually love it. I hope to find a way to add more.
ReplyDeletePerfection! That's such a timeless shape...you can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe black coupled with the shape is perfect. Enjoy those!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a coat of black paint makes! It's a great idea and the candlesticks look so much better!
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic Brandi, love the makeover you gave them!
ReplyDeleteBrandi, they look like a new set of candlesticks. Don't you love it when you can create a designer look for less?
ReplyDeleteI love taking something already owned and making it work yet again in our homes.
ReplyDeleteBrandi, they look completely fresh! Well done, ma'am!
Love what you did Brandi! Janice
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a can of paint can make, if it's in the hands of a smart and talented woman.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful re-do :)
I love pops of black in a room. These are perfect! I'll definitely be looking for a pair when I'm out thrifting. Funny, I've never thought to have black candle sticks. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask where you got your wall-mounted candlesticks? Am looking for something just like them.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandi, they turned out great. Love the black color as it is an anchor and really makes a statement around the house. I have several of those wall hanging candle holders you show here and love them.
ReplyDeleteHave fun shuffling the candle sticks around. Happy Labor Day! cm
Love it, Brandi! I think every room needs a touch of black. It adds drama and elegance. I have some outdated candlesticks that need a makeover. Thanks for the reminder! Happy long weekend, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautifully Brandi!
ReplyDeleteNice! I have about 1,509,324 candlesticks floating around my house.
ReplyDeleteI could unify a few of them with spray paint!
Thanks for always giving me ideas to steal, ahem, use :)
Great makeover!
ReplyDeleteI love Pottery Barn and I love your candles, my home is practically all white and black! Have a great evening Brandi~
ReplyDeleteI love spray paint! I just painted a couple of gilded gold picture frames with a can of white paint and am so happy the new look (for cheap!).
ReplyDeleteLove them, Brandi! They look great in black. Hey, you reminded me I need to buy one of those attachments for the spray cans. ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you had me getting up out of my chair and clapping lol. I think people forget you can get the look for less with just about anything you come across. I've been exercising that while decorating my own place. I love these candle sticks. Chic.

They turned out great, Brandi. Thank goodness for spray paint! Happy Friday, friend!
ReplyDeleteThey look great Brandi! Spray paint is definitely a girl on a budgets best friend. Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteHappy September Brandi!
ReplyDeleteI love how you recreated those candle holders. You've given them new life and they look so beautiful... :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly love all these. What do you call this style in interior design? I'm really curious. I like it but I don't know what it's called.
ReplyDeleteI love your candle holders. They really compliment your other decor. Thank goodness for paint.
ReplyDeleteI love how you see the pretty shape of those candlesticks now that they're black. And you've inspired a chunk of my fall mantle, so thanks!

Nothing like a good can of spray paint to up up your decor! I've also seen a lot of similar brass candlesticks like PB has, style-wise I mean.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet my old brass candles went to Goodwill. Drat!
