Summery Vignette

I have been wanting to create this vignette all summer.  I am ready for fall but, I haven't given up on summer yet.

I have a few of my favorite beachy decor books; Waterside Cottages and Mary Emmerling's Beach Cottages.  The backdrop is a vintage travel poster from Hawaii.

The makeover is the candle sticks.  I painted them with gesso and a little pale gray paint mixed in today.  It dries really fast and distresses fantastic.  So, I just sanded them off and made this vignette.  I really liked how they turned out.

Here they are before.  I didn't use the middle one.  I find black candlesticks all of the time but, it is hard to find the distressed pale ones.  So, I painted mine and decided I could easily replace the black ones if I needed to.

Thanks for joining me today!
