This year, I decided NOT to buy any new Christmas decorations…not even from the Goodwill or Dollar Store!
I bought a lot over the summer from garage sales so I didn’t want to spend ANY MORE MONEY!
So, I went “shopping” in my basement.
I found these Pottery Barn candlesticks that I bought from a garage sale this year. I wanted to paint them black but I had a new idea instead.
I also found my old, gold ornaments.
I found this can of spray paint in my garage and got to work.
Am I craziest person in the world? I was spray painting in 20 degree weather.
The candlesticks turned out great!
They were exactly how I imagined.
I will show you the whole tablescape soon!
I also loved how the ornaments turned out.
I wanted to fill a glass bowl for a centerpiece!
THIS WAS ALL FREE!!!!!
BOOYAH!
Can’t beat this!
How did you use what you have this year?
Have a great weekend!
Bonnie :)
Love how it all turned out!!! I wish I could say I didn't buy any ornaments this year. I think I have some sort of Christmas addiction!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how they turned out! I love creating things from things you already had. :) Good job! Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI now live in southern CA and it is always OK to spray paint but I too have spray painted in 20 degree weather. YOU are far from crazy:)
Last year this time we lived in a tiny tiny house. I had three trees passed down to me: one small (table top) one cute little decorative and one huge full size. We now live in this HUMONGOUS house. So glad I saved all three trees when people thought I was crazy:)
Candlesticks look awesome! I bought some things. Our house is much bigger than our last one so I find we don't have alot. I am hoping to hit some after Christmas sales this year.
ReplyDeleteYour awesome
ReplyDeleteBonnie, these look great! You would think they're an expensive find, not a yardsale makeover! I've spraypainted a thing or two in the basement since the weather's been below freezing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I'm so inspired! :)
