Great price for such large candleholders, I'm not much into brass anymore, BUT
EVERYTHING can be painted!!! :) Here they are after I got them home and gave them a coat of white primer and paint.
I decided they were a little too white, so I found some nice antique cream and gave them another coat. :) I like them so much better now!
SO, if you have any old brass candlesticks lying around and you're tired of the color, go grab some paint and give em' a good coat AND a new life! :)
Stay tuned to my blog tomorrow to see where I put these!! :) I know, I know...... a teaser! :)

Those turned out really well- I never think about painting things like this!
Melissa....Great makeover on the candlesticks!~Patti
They look so pretty now. I wish that I would've kept all of my old brass candle holders. I sold them really cheap at a yard sale years ago. I never thought of painting them back then. These look brand new again.
