Before and After

I chose to share this Before and After project because it shows how easily something can be "fixed" to work with your decor. This is a vintage ceramic pedestal that I found at a thrift shop.

 
 As you can see, it started out a golden color. It may work for some, but it was not the cottage style look I love.


So of course, I painted it white! When in doubt, paint it white. That's what I say! It is now a gorgeous white pedestal candle holder ready for any color candle. All it took was a good cleaning, 2 coats of white primer, and some white paint.

  1. Great idea. My solution to bad color is also to paint it white. Your candle holder is now a beautiful item.
