Happy White Wednesday!!!!
Today I am sharing some pictures of a white candelabra picked up at the thrift
store for cheap, cheap (was a nasty brass, but got the white spray paint treatment).

These are some shots taken at the lake while watching the boys swim and play (okay, better be honest...AND FIGHT!!).
Isn't that sky absolutely amazing!?!

Isn't it just amazing what a can of white spray paint can do. I love the candleabra. I found a gold cherub lamp with that same ugly gold finish and sprayed it heirlom white. It looks like a work of art now!!!

When you have good bones, spray paint can fix anything! Ever so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour candelabra could not look any more gorgeous, than against that blue sky with the clouds!
ReplyDeleteI raised two boys, 18 months apart. I remember them getting along, then in the next second - all heck breaking loose. Now they are best friends.
oh what fabulous photographs, you got some really gorgeous shots, I love them all! The sky, water and the lovely white, truly stunning!

How cute, you made me giggle. I remember those days watching the kids and trying to relax. Yet, I think you are doing a better job than I did of enjoying your life while the kids fight. Your photographs are stunning. The way that white candelabra looks against that sky and lake look positively dreamy.
ReplyDeleteKaren

What a creative idea for a little photo shoot. The candelabra was beautiful enough but you pictured it in such a stunning way!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the eyecandy!
Hi I love the candleabra. I love the pics with the dripping candle wax. Thats what I love about white, it can take anything and make it beautiful.

I love the photos. Love the (now) white candlabra, and the blue puffy white cloud sky, and those wonderful drippy candles. Beautiful. Makes me smile. I also scrolled down a post and read about your 3 boys. LOL! I have 3 boys too, and wouldn't trade them for the world. they are a triple blessing and priceless. And God also blessed me with one daughter so I wouldn't have to lose my hard earned money bribing one of my sons to do what a girl would do. LOL!!!!!! I had to laugh. and the bucket on the head...priceless.
ReplyDeleteshhh. no one will tell. My oldest is now my hero. a Marine in Afghanistan. My second is studying and training to be a certified personal trainer, but loves to work in ministry too. (He benches 300!) GREAT for moving heavy pieces. and my 3rd is my blessing simply because he makes me laugh..
My daughter is just my beautiful friend and confidante...Children are God's greatest blessings and richest treasures in this lifetime.. amen. Thanks for sharing your beauties...My hubby grew up on a lake in Michigan. He misses it....
Oh my gosh! What a transformation. Brass yuck...white yum!!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos were so creative!
Beth

ReplyDeleteHey girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics!!!! And yes, we know how boys can and will be. Still waiting to hear from mine about his white water rafting today???? I missed his call earlier in the evening, so I guess that means he didn't fall out of the boat? LOL xo...deb
The sky is definitely gorgeous but white spray paint is priceless!!
