SThe Architectural collection featured by Pottery Barn speaks to me.
I love the old chippy paint, curvy and scroll shapes.
The minute I saw it I knew I had to make a version of this collection.
I had purchased a bunch of unfinished wood candlesticks and finials from Goodwill a while back with plans of grouping them all together.
They have sat in a drawer for over a year. They were perfect for this project.
Each cost no more than 75 cents to make (with one exception).
All of the paint was left over from other projects.
The first finial is the exception. The base is was found at goodwill.
The other 3 pieces that are connected were found at Lowes for $12.
This urn is turned out to be my favorite.
Here is a close up of the distressing:
This was a fun project. My only problem will be where I want to put them!!
I will be searching for older chunkier pieces to play with.

I like what you did here! Makes me look around and think, "What can I paint!"
Good one! I like them next to the giant jar of wine corks. It looks like the candles wood be perfect to light while you have a glass of wine.
Amazingly beautiful! I'm so impressed!! Thanks for linking up to "Amaze Me Monday" blog party.
I love this collection. There's so many places that you can use them and they'll be perfect for just about any season.
Wow! What a great collection. I love the aged look!
Coming over from Met Monday and a happy new follower!

Great impact! I love them grouped on the top of the hutch. I also love the glass container of wine corks "I spy" up there. :)

Lacy, These are amazing! I am so in love with these. You did an amazing job. I would have to say that I am truly jealous you have these in your home and I do not! Can't wait for the tutorial.
They are beautiful! I will have to get busy. I think I have some scraps in the garage that will work. I even have a perfect urn.
It's so great to be able to re-create something that you see in a store or catalogue for a fraction of the price :-) Your collection of candlesticks looks fantastic :-)

These are great, Lacy! I love how the pieces you put together worked out so well. I couldn't tell the one was three individual pieces!
