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!!!
Beautiful pics! White Paint is so awesome !

Hi Janis... What a lovely post! what a lovely sky, blue skies are scarce here this year!

When you have good bones, spray paint can fix anything! Ever so pretty.
Your candelabra could not look any more gorgeous, than against that blue sky with the clouds!
I 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.

How amazing with the water reflection in the background and the photos with the clouds. You are so talented with a camera....always enjoy your pics.
Take care,
Kathleen
Your photography is amazing, as well as that sky! Lezlee
Everything is gorgeous! The water, the sky, the clouds and that lovely candleabra....wow.
Hope your summer is going well Janis!
Those photos are pure poetry. I want a coffee table book with your work in it.
The candelabra is beautiful but it's your photos that really made me go "ahhhh". Beautiful work.
Jane
What a beautiful spot to take your photos. The candelabra looks aamazing painted white! xx
Lovely photos, Janis! Amazing how good the candelabra looks spray painted!
Janis, that looks like heaven, and the candelabra is great too! You have such a knack for capturing the inspiring in photos. This summer is wearing me out and I'm glad for the inspiration...
Tracey
That is a nice candlier and I like how you have taken the picture by the water.
Dreamy!
That first photo has a very Phantom of the Opera thing going on! :-)
Hi Janis,
The photographs are really gorgeous, love the pretty white candelabra and you live in a gorgeous place, the sky and water looks amazing.
Kids will be kids, and sounded like how mine sometimes were.
The poem is lovely.

I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful pictures taken of a candelabra! They're simply breathtaking, and there's never been a better example of what a little white paint can do!
Happy WW!

Janis - you worked your magic with the white paint - the candelebra is amazing, and your photos are stunning!! It looks like it was a beautiful day - for you and your sons!
Hugs from Ohio, Kathy
What a creative idea for a little photo shoot. The candelabra was beautiful enough but you pictured it in such a stunning way!
Thank 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.
shhh. 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!!!
Your photos were so creative!
Beth
What a pretty picture. Thanks for always stopping by, I enjoy hearing from you. Have a great rest of the evening, T
I love your blog! You sure described how I feel about junk in your profile! Thanks for following my new blog!
Faye
GREAT backdrop for your photographs and it makes them so romantic. Just a little white paint does wonders! Now I'm off to look at your other White Wednesday posts.
Hey girlfriend!
Beautiful 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!!
How beautiful...isn't it great to repurpose items into that coveted white? So glad you stopped by my blog...it gave me a chance to discover yours and I LOVE IT! Can't wait to read all your older posts and wait for your new ones!
Blessings,
Karen

Janis, That chandi is so pretty. You are such a tease though, I know you can't give all of your secrets away, but you set my mind to whirling when I see what you make. Thanks so much for a glimpse at the things that you make, they are all so wonderful!
