We’ve had two of these candleholders for a while, but I never displayed them in any way because I didn’t like the way they looked. But because they were inherited, we didn’t want to get rid of them either.

It was those hanging crystals that i didn’t like. So, one day I was cleaning our kitchen cabinets and I came across these and suddenly I knew just what to do with them. One closer look told me that all the pieces in the candleholder were separate and attached with one screw. It took about a minute to remove the part with the hanging crystals and this is the end result:

They look so much better now! The best thing is, that this makeover is not permanent: I can always put those blingy things back if I want to (I won’t though, not in a long time at least..). It’s nice to actually use them now and not hide them in the kitchen cabinet.
