My second thought...how easy would it be to make these? Simply purchase jelly jars or glassware at a thrift store, and add your own wax and wick...

Loving Fall

I love this time of year! It makes me want to re-arrange furniture, paint, freshen everything up for the  upcoming holidays. I tend to think "heavier" as far as my fall and winter decorating goes. Darker colors, heavier fabrics, and layers. (My living room is actually red and green...fits in perfectly with Christmas!)


As far as painting furniture...I am having to "re-do" a few pieces, since the paint I used "puckered". I e-mailed Rustoleum asking why this occured on 5 different pieces. They sent me an explanation and offered a refund on the paint I used. Pleasantly surprized by their great customer service.


Check out Craig's List for some new painted furniture additions...simply key in "vintage green upcycled table" and "vintage white table". Cute, unique, chic tables!
