Attempt to be crafty!

I've been trying to find new activities to do at night instead of vegetating on the couch watching shows on Hulu.  So last night I went to Home Depot after seeing Bonnie's blog post and bought all the materials needed to make candlesticks!  

After Tom saw what I bought at HD he said to me, "You do know I sell this stuff on a daily basis and it's better quality than what you just bought?"  Whoops!  So I'm not allowed to go to Home Depot alone anymore.  


We sanded down all the rough edges, painted it black, and glued the top and bottom pieces on the 4x4s.  I still need to do a little sand thru to make it look antiqued, but so far they look awesome!  I'm excited to decorate them!  I'm also hoping my dogs won't destroy the new pieces!
