Spray Paint…
Sometimes all you need is a tarp and a can of spray paint to change your world, or something like that.
I’ve had these for a while, I think they were some shade of green when I first bought them.
I used Krylon Satin Ivory for this project.
This is a large ceramic candle holder. I think Kim from Savvy Southern Style has two similar ones. Nothing wrong with the color. I just needed a change.
After the paint dried, I mixed a little Medium Gray Folk Art paint with water and brushed over my spray painted pieces.
It brought out the imperfections of the pieces.
I like the effect of the color wash.
What do you think?
These two are above my cabinets.
And this one is holding a candle.
You can spray paint anything. At least that’s what I believe.
Did you see this that I recently painted with Spray Chalky Paint? <<<click there. Using spray paint and an acrylic paint is an easy way to create this look.
- Clean your piece well.
- Spray according to the directions on the container. This is very important, I know from experience.
- Water down your choice of craft paint
- After the piece has completely dried, take a chip brush or old t-shirt and wash piece with craft paint.
- Wipe off excess
- Let it dry and refresh your space with the renewed piece.

They look great! If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe that they looked like that originally. Nice job!
Wow..... great paint job. And I love the candle holders along side the fireplace!
They look great. I love to use washes. It's a wonderful way to get that aged effect.
Those look fantastic Debbie! I changed my world with spray paint yesterday...well...actually just some lamps but it made a world of difference! LOL! :-) I love how they look with the silver bucket up on your cabinets. So pretty!

I love these! Very old world look! Thanks for the visit and the sweet comment @TheDedicatedHouse. Hope you're having a grand Sunday! Toodles, Kathryn
I think you just tripled it's value. It now looks like it came from some old country estate. I may not pass over those ugly colored candle holders I find at Goodwill!
Hi Debbie! I saw that you had posted on A Beach Cottage and said you were Southern so I thought I would stop in for a visit! I'm Southern too! Deep South Southern! Love the new paint colors you chose for your finials and candleholders!
Beautiful!!! Paint can transform anything from an ugly duckling to a fabulous swan! Love the patina you created on these treasures!
