Is this the ugliest candlestick you’ve ever seen or what? It was at the Dollar Store, so only a dollar and I really liked the shape of it, so I brought it home. Then I went to the thrift store the next day and found this cheese tray for a dollar. Wow, I scored!
I had to really scrub to get it clean and then I painted them both heirloom white. I used the Gorilla super glue to adhere them together. I love this stuff, it takes less than a minute for it to work.
Oh, it’s so pretty now!
I love it and I love the color and shape. It looks like they were made for each other.
Doesn’t it look perfect in it’s new home? The dessert is not real, but it sure looks good. I think I did great for a total of $2. What do you think?
Okay. Wow! I’m SO impressed! This is fabulous. I’m fairly new to reading your blog and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Because you share things that just wow me. I NEVER would have thought to do something like this, my brain just doesn’t “see” the potential. I’m so glad that there are creative types like you who are willing to share fantastic things like this. Next time I got to the thrift stores, I can look for the potential of something similar.
Thank you!
I love trash to treasure moments! I think your project looks FAB! I found your blog a week ago and just love it! I put your office filing system to use this week and it is working perfectly for my family! Thanks for the inspiration!
what a transformation!! Heirloom white is my FAVORITE color!! This is my kind of project, quick and easy!! Love it!
I am loving it! I already have one of those little cheese trays. I’m on a mission to find a candlestick to add to it. What brand is the heirloom white spray paint??
I love this. They look they were made for one another. Great idea and great finds.
Wow, what a perfect example of ‘trash to treasure’! It’s amazing what a little paint can do. You took two fairly ugly pieces and turned them into a work of art!
Oh yes — soooo much better!! NICE!!
great score! You did a really nice job.

2 bucks?!?…seriously amazing!!!
This is so stinking cute. I am going to look for some cheese trays today.
Love it! I just bought me one of those cheese plates at the Goodwill, I’ll have to find me a candle holder to add to it. Great idea, Thanks!

OK – that looks awesome! I have one of those cheese domes… which dollar store did you find the candlestick at?
Beautiful! I just love it. Great job!
I did this and painted it black, didn’t like it, so painted it red. After seeing yours it may get painted white – I really like it!
Thanks for posting about this cute transformation. I have had a cheese dome for almost a year and couldn’t quite figure out what I wanted to do with it…now I know what I am going to do. That is wonderful.
Your cake stand is great!
I just got one of mine out today and wondered what to do with it.
The wood pedestal is perfect!
thanks

Your a geneus! This is a great idea and no way would I have thought of this looking at these 2 different pieces.
Super cute !
I love how it turned out, white paint works wonders
WOW that is beautiful, i am off to the local goodwill to try to buy my supplies, you are so clever thanks for sharing! Sue
Great project!
My jaw just dropped! Such simple changes, too1
I love it! You know, a year ago, I was seeing covered cheese trays at GW all the time. Then, I started seeing projects for them, and now that I’m looking, I never see one!

So pretty and useful!
Great idea! I keep “collecting” these little covered dishes, and now I know how to change them up into something beautiful!! Thanks for the idea! (I’m digging into the spraypaint now!)
Fabulous. I’ll have to check out our dollar store, I love that “chunkier” candlestick, others I’ve seen are kinda wimpy. Thanks for the inspiration!
That turned out wonderful!
What a great idea! I love it! It really is cute. Thanks for sharing.
This is so great! And so creative!
I love this to bits! I am kicking myself for not buying the cheese plate I saw at a garage sale this summer. Seriously! I had it in my hand, I knew it was good, but lacked vision!
Spectacular idea!!! Turned out fantastic!!!
Cuuuuuute! Thanks for posting on Talented Tuesday so I could find this, it’s adorable and you’re right, the two pieces look like they were made for each other!
I love this! I’ve seen so many of those cheese plates at the thrift shops and I haven’t thought of doing this! Makes me wanna run out and do this right. now.
Hey love your cloche stand. Lezlee
Yep you scored on the cheese tray! I love it. It really looks like they belong together…. thanks again for joining my party..

That was such a great idea! So beautiful. TFS
No Way! That looks amazing! If you didn’t take that before picture I would have never known that you didn’t just buy that cute dessert stand from a fancy catalogue.
SOOOO CUTE! It does look like it came from a boutique or catalog…let’s hope there’s still some cheese domes left in Phx so I can make one too!
I love the white color!! Thanks for linking up!!
What a fabulous transformation. This is adorable! Love it white! Thanks so much for joining The DIY Club this month! We greatly appreciate it! ~ Stephanie Lynn
