I’ve been holding on to these furniture legs forever.  They were cut off an old table I made into a coffee table a couple years ago. 

I just loved the chunky shape of them, and I knew they would make an awesome pair of candlesticks.  Up-cycled furniture leg candlesticks for the win!

I pulled out chalk paint for this project.  I had this General Finishes Chalk Style paint in my stash, it’s a beautiful color called Stillwater Blue.

After the paint dried, I lightly distressed the edges and sealed them with Flat Out Flat Top Coat.  Easy peasy.  Here’s a video of the process and a discussion on chalk v. milk paint.  

I had these clear glass candle plates in my decorating stash.  They are from Ikea, but here are some similar ones I found on Amazon.  If not, a piece of wood, or a terra cotta dish would work just as well.  

I glued the plates to the top of the legs with this awesome clear glue, E6000.  It went on and dried clear, and worked perfectly!

And just like that I have one of a kind candlesticks that add so much character and charm!! 

My fireplace makeover is next up on the list… so stay tuned for more projects coming your way!!
