It's Time to Accessorize - Day 5

I've noticed fellow bloggers change things around in their homes a lot.  They move things here and there, add and take away, stage this and then that.  Holidays?  I'm not even sure they know when they're in the right house.  

I say this as a compliment, in admiration -- however dizzy it might make me. I think that was one of the things that drew me to blogging.  I want to learn to do this, too.

Until now, I subscribed to the "there's only one best way to do something" method of decorating....otherwise, why would it be called "best" at all?  I'd arrange things the best I could and there it would stay.  Forever, or until we moved.  

I'm almost always doing something but seldom ever changing anything.

Here in my dining room I'm trying out the new me.  It's time
to add some new ( or new to me) accessories.

I started with a $1 shell and a wooden candle stick I'd held on to but hadn't used in years.   The candle stick has had at least nine lives.  It's been stained light oak,
painted white, painted black,faux marblized (what was I thinking?, hello,  it's still wood...),
sponged, etc. -- you get the idea. 

And now, I think this is my favorite so far, it's been SHELLED.  

Oh, yeah.

I can't even impress you with how I did it cuz there was nothing to it.  

Glue it. Paint it. Glaze it.

"That's it", I say as I wipe the sweat from my brow.  

"Do I still get to call this a tutorial?"

I think I need a nap now. 

P.S.  My friend, Rosie (turned proofreader), says this is the ugliest thing she's ever seen.  Anyone out there need work?
