I found a pair of candle holders with gold and cream crackle paint gone awry. They looked tacky and dated, but I have always liked chunky, wooden candlesticks. These two candle holders are solid wood and have great detailing, so transforming them was not very hard.

Ugh! See what I mean?
I just needed to cover up that awful paint job with a coat of primer and two coats of creamy white paint. Then, a little all over distressing to bring out the details. I love the acanthus leaves and the round, scrolling feet. I think they are much more pleasant to look at now!
After
True Beauties!
