The off white did not show well against the green walls and all the accessories are black so I painted the candlesticks back to black. Now, in my previous post I told you that I broke the glass on the print. Well, I was carrying in the candlesticks and dropped one. It bent the top piece that holds the candle. I was trying to bend it back and the whole thing broke off. My husband says I can use something (forgot the name) that is like a weld glue for metal objects. So, I will do that and have three again.

Redo of the Candlesticks
These candlesticks were originally black iron and I painted them offwhite in our last home. We had a very Tuscan bathroom. I had troweled on drywall mud to plaster the walls and painted a yellowy beige then I took a brown gel paint and brushed on and wiped around and off. It looked just like the walls at our Olive Garden and I loved it.
