I need your help...

I picked up this candle holder today at the Salvation Army, it was $1.99. I know can you believe it? It is missing one glass votive which I am confidant that I can replace it with one from the dollar store.

I need your help on its makeover. I have a few ideas but cannot decide.

1. Paint it black and distress it.
2. Paint it black, distress it and put some numbers on it.
3. Paint it cream and distress it.
4. Paint it either black or white and put a saying or word on each side.

I like #4, BUT I cannot think of a saying that would fit.

I would love to hear every ones opinions/advise.

    OK I'll give you my 2 cnets worth.
    It lokos like a black piece, sanded up soem to me.
    I'd do a syaing across the fron, but not sure hwat.

    Maybe family is forever, or cherish the good times?

    Just a thought.

    I agree with Barb ~ paint it up and put a nice saying across the front of it. Love it!

    Wow! What a find! I'm thinking more of a distressed cream with lettering in black...something to do with warmth/family and love perhaps? I know you'll figure it out and it will be as wonderful as your other creations.
    I'm just out and about reconnecting with my blogging buddies. I've been MIA for a bit but now I'm back!
    Hope all is well with you and yours and I hope your day is a great one!

    Terrific!! My policy is when in doubt, paint it black :)

    I do like the idea of it painted with a saying or such.

    Enjoy your find!

    Blessings!

    I like number 4 also.

    For saying how about something to do with candlight?(glow, simmer, etc.) or maybe something seasonal.

    I like the fourth one too - but I know whatever you do - it will be awesome. An idea will hit you in the night about the time you finally doze off - at least that is how it works for me. Please keep us posted on whatever marvelous thing you decide to do to it. Have a great weekend. Cathy
