Happy Thanksgiving!
This week is a busy one for us as the kids finish up at school for the break, and we pack up and head north to our cottage for the last time in 2008. Soon the cottage will look like this:

Before we leave, I thought I would show you what I've been working on...
I love a good deal, and I also love a quick, easy transformation that I can complete during my little one's nap time...
I bought these outdated candlesticks at a garage sale for two dollars a pair. I loved the shape, but not the color of the wood. I roughed them up with sand paper just a bit. Then I bought silver spray paint, and made a quick change...
They were dry by the end of nap time, and ready for my master bathroom that night... (If you come back Wednesday-I'll give you a peak into my FAVORITE room-my bathroom- where these new candlesticks have a home...)
***I'll also be announcing a give away soon!***

It's OK that you loved the movie. Maybe it helped that your own personal "Edward" was sitting next to you!
He should definitely keep things on the down-low (not the Oprah kind) about Twilight!
Hope you enjoy your last visit of 2008 to your cottage. Is there room for me?!! It looks wonderful. I love your candlestick makeover and can't wait to see them in your bathroom.
Best Wishes for Thanksgiving.
