Making Candlesticks Standup

My mother in law gave me a candlestick holder for our dining room a few months ago. We have been looking for a piece for our dining room table, so this was perfect. However, I could not get the candlesticks to stand up straight to save my life. After a lot of googling, I came up with a solution that worked!

Dining Room Makeover

During this quarantine, we have decided to take the time to complete some lingering projects since we are home 24/7. Brad is still working from home, and I am trying to keep a routine with Melody and continue teaching her preschool things. But we still are constantly seeing these uncompleted projects ALL the time. So the project that we see the most, and it is the easiest to complete was our dining room. We had everything but the paint, and we already had samples picked out that we wanted to try. And since it was the first thing you practically see when you walk in our house, it just made the most sense!

Thanksgiving Diningroom Decor

Luckily I was able to reuse a lot of our Halloween décor for Thanksgiving!  I used my burlap table runner with our initial on the ends.  For the centerpieces, I reused the orange flowers and vase from Halloween that was used in our kitchen.  I think it worked perfectly with the Thanksgiving colors I am using.  Next the to the flowers is a brown candle holder with an off-white candle.  And to the other side is a ceramic turkey.  Both of those items were purchase by Brad before we were married, but I think they work wonderfully with the rest of the décor.
