Today I helped Melissa put the final touches on her room. We accessorized with items found around her home. I pulled this cool looking pea green candlestick she had hidden.Melissa asked if I knew what it was made from. No clue.
Look close and see if you can tell.
Look closer. Does the shape resemble anything you know?Clue: If you have a baby, you might get it.
Do you see it?Baby food jars. Yep, those are baby food jars. Clever, clever.
Melissa's mother-in-law made this candlestick back in the 60s. Retro and green all in one.
I don't have the instructions, but I am pretty sure it involves gluing the jars together. The bottom and tops are plates that felt like metal. The whole thing was painted and must have several layers of polyurethane because there was not a chip or scratch on the thing.
The baby food candle stick looks right at home amongst the turned-wood variety.
Melissa's new mantel with our final touches -- all found objects from around her home. Melissa joked that she's been decorating this room for ten years, that's how long she's been married and collecting things.My favorite among her things?
