While I was visiting Tennessee last month, I kept looking at something in the trash. Thinking I could recycle it somehow.
It’s a porch post, with a rotted bottom.
I used my Mr H’s miter saw, to cut them in to manageable pieces to bring back to Georgia.
I had some great helpers!
I glued some candle holders to the top and added a wider base to the round pieces.
I spray painted and stenciled.
They look rustic and fancy.
I left the imperfections, even added a little distressing.
Not too bad for trash.
Truly a trash to reFreshed treasure!
Create candle holders from a Porch Post!
Thanks for checking them out!

I Love this! What I am wondering is what you used for the top… are those two pieces a tin looking round piece of something and an embossed wood something?
I used some flat candle holders. Thanks!
Great job. Love them.
revisited this post because you shared it on FB. I pinned! I also shared on fb. Still loving your candlesticks.

Love it…..great job also.
Thanks Pam!
Hmmm… MOrning. Now I am really going to be on the lookout. They are very nice, want some!
Just wondering what you used on top to hold the candle.
Cheryl, they are flat candle holders (purchased at Big Lots).
Thanks!
Hi Debbie – I’m featuring your amazing “post” candle holders tomorrow evening from Linky Party #6 “Turning the Daunting into the Do-able” at Project Queen. These turned out fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing them.
These are gorgeous! What an incredibly creative idea for them. And who doesn’t love another place for candles! ~Lili

I really love how you did your candlesticks! I did some a couple of years ago and they were a LOT of fun.
