You probably have this Farmhouse French item in your house somewhere. I’m talking candlesticks. I used to make sure I always had candles in my candle holders, but now I don’t even care. They are just so beautiful on their own, I don’t think they need candles. Like these antique brass church candlesticks. Aren’t they lovely? The candelabra is also a beauty. I love the old brass accents and the crystals.
The religious candlesticks are so beautiful, such a work of art. I love these sacred heart candlesticks shown below. I also didn’t put them in my shop because I wanted to keep them. Then they sold immediately so there was no time to change my mind. I mean, just look at that detail.
Below I have Aidan Gray candlesticks on my dining room table. They are new but look old.
The candlesticks below are also from a church. They are brass and I painted them, but I love the new color and the incredible details. You can see how I painted them HERE.
Below same song second verse. I bought these candlesticks to sell, but look at that detail! I couldn’t.
This super large candlestick below, was a thrift store find that I painted. You can find this technique HERE.
These candlesticks aren’t candlesticks at all. They are pieces of an old porch.
Here’s another candelabra, but this one is a very simple iron one.
This one was originally red and green, but I painted it. Find the details HERE.
Lastly I have these super large black candle holders.
You have quite an impressive collect. Beauties!
What a great tip! I love your photos. You have some beautiful pieces for sure.
Thanks so much Amy!! Hope to see you soon.
Love your collecttion of candles holders.
Thank you Pamels (or is it Pamela)? I enjoy candlesticks a lot. So glad you do too.
Can a person have too many candles or candlesticks in their home??? I think… NOT. You have shown some absolutely stunning examples. Your style is amazing.
Best & Bisous,

Love love love candles and candlesticks! So many pretty ones in your shop!
The candlesticks are gorgeous…do we ever have too many? I think not!!
Your candlestick idea is great. I am going to do more with mine and start looking in thrift store for more to collect. Your blog is wonderful
Thanks sweet Beth!!
Voted for your rug!! How many times can you vote?
OMG!! I love everything you do!! I want it all in my house! LOL!!
Anita, you have a beautiful group of candlesticks. I find I rarely use candlesticks these days, and thus I have them all in a cupboard, a large collection of antique Barley twist, brass ones, and some wonderful ones made from antique architectual pieces. Your post is making me rethink bringing some back out for fall and winter. For safety I don’t feel comfortable buring candles, so I like the idea that you have them displayed without candles. You are inspiring me!
I do love candlesticks ~ they add so much to displays! I can’t have too many candles burning because of asthma but just some lovely candlesticks look beautiful as they are.
Love all those you’ve shown, Anita! Enjoy yours!!
Barb ??
Awesome idea using old wood pieces and making them onto candlesticks! Sounds like something I would do! Lol! Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection, now I’m going to keep my eye out for candlesticks!
