Every summer our family travels out to Utah. And while in Utah I visit a particular store called Tai Pan Trading. I love this store. It is a designer's PARADISE! I kid you not. When I walk in it is like a kid walking into a candy store. I just go wild with excitement. This year I came across a pair of ornate, distressed iron sconces. They were gorgeous and 20% off. They're mine! In the cart they go.
After a long drive home with my treasures nestled amoung suitcases, we finally get them home. I hang my beautiful sconces up. They are perfect. Now to find candles for them. But, oh my, these sconces are meant for very large, very tall $20-$30 candles. Um...yah, like I have that kinda money just for a pair of candles. Not on my budget!
I took a trip to my local Micael's to see if I could get any ideas. And bingo, I find a pair of glass huricane lamp covers for $2 each. I took them home and spray painted the inside of them and stuck them in the sconce. A match made in heaven if I do say so myself.
