Candice is my name
and junkin is my game!
I love the thrill of the hunt
and I love repurposing my found treasures
into other things.
One of my fave things lately
is repurposing old lamp parts,
light fixtures and spindles
into candle holders.
I picked up a bunch of metal pieces when
I went to the Nashville Flea Market.
They were from old lamps and old light fixtures.
I was drawn to the rust and patina.
I'm working on a few different projects with them.
First is candle holders.
Some of the metal pieces had rust.
So after cleaning them, I used
matte finish clear spray to seal them.
The matte finish keeps the original finish
but adds a layer of protection.
I stuck candles in/on the pieces.
To round out the set,
I used my candle stick spindles.
I've used these all over my home.
I also found these spindles at the flea market.
I chopped them down
with my miter saw.
Then I sanded the edges a bit.
I added a battery operated tea light
because I didn't want to worry
about burning the candle sticks, or my table,
or my house!!
I love the vintage metal and vintage wood
all mixed together on my table.
I wish I knew where these items came from.
How cool would it be to know where they've been?!
I'll just have to be content to love them
repurposed in my home!
