Dilemma Almost Solved

A few weeks ago I posted this dilemma:

My candle holder with it's broken candles and kind of boring color!

Then I shared a little bit of vinyl craftiness with the addition of this {oh so cute} number 6. I obviously painted the candle holder too. This is Krylon Bahama Sea spraypaint, which I am currently in love with:) I finally found the solution to the broken candles....which I think may have been suggested by a reader on my first dilemma post. I got a pack of six little terra cotta pots at Hobby Lobby. They were marked $2.27 and they were on sale for 50% off...so I got all six of them for a little over a dollar! As cute as they are, the color is just too close to the Sherwin Williams Baked Clay that is on the walls in my living room. So, I got out my trusty black spray paint and gave all six pots a good coating.
I think it turned out really great, and it looks completely different than it did when I started! Now, I am planning to melt down a few old candles to make the pots candles, because I know it will be almost impossible to find some that fit in the pots perfectly.

We've also been busy outside. Here's a little hint.... I'll share more next week:) I hope you have a SUPER weekend!

I'm linking up with these awesome parties:

A Work in Progress

Today, I am busy working on a redo of this: Our old and pretty beat up entertainment center.
I'm revamping it with some wood, a little Gorilla Glue, and some paint.
Hopefully soon it will be a cute and comfy bench.
