Depending on the color palette of your room and furnishings, I'd either paint the wood distressed black or white, then alternate the holes with votive candles and seasonal flowers/greenery. On single stem looks especially lovely. And guess what? You don't HAVE to fill every hole with something....that's the beauty of it. I'd kill for one of these, since you can decorate with it year-round. Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863467156071949126.post-70766844231355800042010-04-24T19:56:30.688-05:002010-04-24T19:56:30.688-05:00Here is an idea to update it! http://somedaycraft...Here is an idea to update it! http://somedaycrafts.blogspot.com/2010/04/guest-blogger-thrifty-and-chic-decor.htmlsomedaycraftshttp://somedaycrafts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863467156071949126.post-82580202990497801452010-04-22T17:53:23.622-05:002010-04-22T17:53:23.622-05:00Hi Kelli!

I would paint it a pretty color and then get some votives that fit for each little hole. Then, I would put some water in each and the end of a rose (the big bloom) in each. I have seen that in a magazine and it was SO cute! The one in the magazine was black and they had pink roses in the votives!Danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282817525035827185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863467156071949126.post-9866848933136791702010-04-22T09:50:06.515-05:002010-04-22T09:50:06.515-05:00I like the flower idea in the candle holder!

But, if you wanted to paint it, I always go to white or black. I LOVE it as a candle holder. Looks like PB to me. If you can't find votives to fit it, what about taller pillar candles - either the same width or skinny with sand or something to steady it. My sister-in-law painted pinto beans gold to go in a candle centerpiece once and it was gorgeous.

My two sense is to paint some chalkboard paint on the front and write "don't touch" on the front, just kidding.

A rustic, turquoise wash of color on the holder would be really fresh. And I think it would look super happy against your walls. After that I was thinking like Sarita - fill the holes with sand or coffee beans and pop in a tall, straight candle.
