Candlelight in a Box

Pin It

It's time for...

Metamorphosis Monday!









Here we go...


What do you get when you take a cool old box with a great handle and latch but no bottom,...


...and a set of small pyrex bowls?


With few simple tea light candles, you have a great centerpiece or side table that sets the mood!


As I was doing this project, I remembered I had seen it somewhere else. Where? Ah, yes, in Decorating JunkMarket Style. See it here on page 19? There's always so much inspiration in those books!!



This project is actually for sale in my Junkologie booth in Duluth, MN! I hope it sells quickly! :)

  4. Good project. And thanks for showing us the source. The source photo reminded me I have four chairs like the ones in the book that I need to get out of storage and get busy on - unlike you who has no unfinished projects! Right?

  6. Wonderful project! I always look for broken bits to re-purpose but when I find them inspiration often flies out the door!

  7. Cat Daddy brought home a ton (or as Sue says, a yitload) of those pyrex dishes and I thought what the heck am I gonna do with those. BINGO! Now I just have to find something bottomless besides me.

  15. Thank you, Amy. My camera is a Canon 30D. I was using a Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens for the pictures at Leola's. I think I was shooting at 1000 ISO. I was having a blast!

    What kind of camera do you use? Are you on Flickr? I always admire your photos.
