i LOVE taking items and redoing them or "fancy-ing" them up to better suit my style. if you haven't been to my house, let me tell you it is a bit shabby chic, a bit coastal, and a bit vintage...um..."co-shab-age"- a new term to describe my deco style. anyway, i like white items (and some black, too)-and usually will paint most woods to make them black or white. here are a few items i have recently completed...nothin' special, but they look cute, none-the-less. i painted them white and then lightly sanded them. i didn't use primer (shhh, don't tell mark). i think this is why they sanded perfectly.
#1: candlestick holders
i found these at big lots for a whopping $6 each, i think
