I glue-gunned starfish to my candlesticks. So simple...but it made me happy.
They used to look like this.
Now they look like this. That is all.
Here are a few other projects. Some simple. Some not.
Raising Olives ~ Rain gutter bookshelves
Living Locurto ~ Lots of FREE downloads!
Complete Organizing Solutions ~ Paint can cubbies
The Magic Brush ~ Teacher pails (AKA brown-nosing buckets)
If you didn't get enough of me on video yesterday, here a few outtakes that didn't make it the cut...for good reason. :)
Don't forget! Tomorrow is DIY Day! Get your posts ready with those home projects, makeovers, crafts...even a great recipe counts as DIY, in my opinion. The post will go up at 10:00 PM (eastern time).

The bloopers are fabulous! Makes you a "real" person like the rest of us. My personal favorite..."there's a dead bug in my paint."
I cannot tell you what a great idea this is, I inherited a set of wood cancelsticks which Ic annot not not stand. Now I am inspired to find a way to warm up to them.
Super idea! Thanks
What a great and simple idea! It is amazing the difference it makes!
Great idea! I'm loving the starfish lately. Too bad it's basically fall up here in Michigan and I'll be packing it away soon for the fall stuff! :)
Good Morning Miz Kimba,
This just proves that sometimes simple is best, love the clean look of them. Great job!
What a fun idea! Love them...
I'm obsessed with the chunky wooden candlesticks lately for some weird reason. Who knows why! These would look darling leaned up against a couple of them... great now I need more starfish, maybe that's a growing addiction, too.
Your starfish candlesticks turned out so cute! They look perfect with your mantle display!! :)

Very cute! BTW I enjoyed seeing you on video. :-) I had fun meeting you at BlissDom '09. You were just as sweet as I had expected.
I have never been able to say no to a starfish...anywhere! Love this!

I love your eye candy. It always encourages me to try and do something constructive around my house...so far I have lots of thoughts, little actions.
However, I have had starfish on my mind lately. Come by and visit my blog.
These bloopers were so cute! You reminded me of myself...trying to work in the rain!
I like your starfish candleholders! Good idea!
