Hey everyone! How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one!
I've been eyeing the candlesticks at Pottery Barn lately. But when the prices range from $24-$34 per candlestick, I think I can find alternative arrangements!

Luckily I had this candlestick that I picked up at Goodwill a few months ago. It was $4.99. I love the shape, and I thought I could make it look like my new obsession!
I already had these tools on hand. Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber, some crackle glaze, and a semi-gloss can of Behr paint in "Country Dairy."
I started by painting the Burnt Umber over the black, then covered it with the crackle glaze. The crackle glaze, when dry, allows you to paint on top of it. It will then "crackle" and allow the underneath color to come through. Make sense?
I think it turned out pretty good!
Now what else can I crackle?

I really like this! I have a big chunky candlestick that I got from a thrift store recently that I wanted to paint. I may try this treatment.
Love it anytime someone can out smart Pottery Barn. Yours looks great & the price is wonderful.

I always wanted to try my hand at crackle, but didn't know what supplies to start with. Thank you so much for sharing! I love the new look of your candle stick.

They look great! I just posted about some I repainted. Not sure about my color though. I'm debating whether or not to repaint. But I really like yours!
Your version looks just like PB. Great job!
