Spray Paint A Brass Candlestick, step by step

I am back with an straightforward thrift store upgrade. John and I snagged this seen-better-days brass candlestick at Goodwill for $1.99 after I convinced him that a bright and modern color would complement the traditional shape for a clean and current result in about five minutes flat.

So I spray painted that sucker with some glossy yellow paint (Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Gloss spray paint in Sun Yellow)…

… and ended up with a pleasant new (and especially low-cost) accessory in a lively and glad color. Here he is accompanied by his three candle friends. Anyone humming Beauty & The Beast yet? Totally reminds us of Lumiere.

Plain? Check. Low-cost? Check? Anyone can do it? Check. Plus we are planning to do a little seasonal decorating and we think this guy will come in handy for all sorts of occasions (Halloween, Thanksgiving, fall in general, etc). So stay tuned to see a few lively arrangements with our new yellow candlestick.

And speaking of swift thrift store makeovers, what have you folks been transforming on the low-cost? Any other candlestick projects going on?
