Antique Glazed Wall Sconce

I was so excited when I found this beauty at Goodwill.

You don’t think it’s beautiful? Maybe beauty really is in the eye of the beholder because I was run to the HB “look what I found look what I found” excited when I found it.

Normally I would have slapped a coat of black spray paint on this baby and been happy. However, someone in bloggy land has let the Heirloom White bug out of its cage and it BIT.ME.

Oh decorating OCD why do you haunt me so.

So I slapped a coat of HW on her and it was finished. HA HA HA no, it needed more. So I glazed it!

Oh how I luv it and adore that real looking electric candle on it.

That bug bite is really itching, I wonder what else I can find to paint HW.

Thanks for stopping by Not Just Paper and Glue. Yes, I am thinking of doing a tutorial on the flowers and LOL about the bows. I don't really know what I do other than "just tie a bow". I could probably come up with some sort of short video tutorial for that so be looking in the near future for those :)
