$10 Makeover

{Edited : Join in the linky party over at A Soft Place to Land for other great DIY ideas!}

I visited our local Goodwill and walked away with these beauties for $10.

All of them.

For $10.

Notice the scratches and dents on the candlesticks. It's okay, babies, I see your inner beauty!

I know that the orange and brown African tray has nothing in common with my decor. You've got good structure, honey.

FOR THE TRAY:

I sanded down the rough edges.

A can of flat black spray paint.

A little bottle of acrylic craft paint in white.

A pencil eraser to make perfect dots.

And TADA!

Now for the candlesticks.

I know in the picture, they looked okay. I kind of liked the scroll work, but they were really in bad shape.

Besides, you can never go wrong with black (in my home, or on my clothes) as it covers a multitude of sins.

What I love about these candlesticks is the size. They are about 18" and 24" tall with a diameter of about 5". Super sized.
Check in tomorrow to find out about the fleur de lis... try not to be jealous of my fabulous find.
Thanks to Kimba for her spray paint inspiration!
