When I find an item that can’t be reused for it’s original intention, I’ll find a new use for it. I’ve probably mentioned this in another post but I often come across items that I find appealing & inspiring. It may be the shape, size or look of the thing that draws my attention, but whatever, I know when I see it if I must have it or not. Here is one such item of which I ended up with several. So from gravy boat in all it’s past ‘stainless steel glory’, they were transformed into candleholders.
All were given the ‘decoupage roses’ treatment with a shabby vintage finish & gold highlights. This particular one had candle wax poured into it while others were sold with wax beads in various colours & scents.
A quaint little recreation to lighten up a cosy corner or quiet nook.
Ciao for now,

What a lovely repurposing of a gravy boat – it is stunning!
Thank you Ingrid. I never know what I might find or what I’ll do with the items I find so there’s never a dull moment in my studio
