Painting project: Candlesticks!

Is is Monday again, Yeah!! The start of a new week always gets me a little excited. I completed one of my first painting projects on Saturday and am very happy with the results. I had picked these candle sticks up at a yard sale several years ago and have enjoyed them but, was excited to learn that I could paint them and now I LOVE them. Here are the before and after pics.  These are the before pics:

Now here these are all finished!


  
I really like how these turned out and it was very simple!  Now I'm am ready to tackle another project. 
I am almost finished with the signs I have been working on at our church, so hopefully I will post some pics of those this week.  I think this may be the week that I finally finish the mural.  We will see.

Enjoy your day and look for the exciting things God has for you today!

ok, so I was reading through this post and did a double take on the last photo! The corner of the print that is sitting on your mantle looks exactly like one that Mark and I saw at Hobby Lobby over the weekend and I told him I HAD to have it. The colors are soo gorgeous! The candlesticks look great, btw!
