Roundup: Pretty Candlesticks

CasaSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:00:57 -0700

I'm so sick of those trendy, rustic antler candlesticks that I just want to go back to the roots. Remember pretty candlesticks? The ones you'd set your table with if your grandmother came over or you were hosting a dinner date at home? The kind you'll hold on to until you're wrinkly and gray? The kind you'd wrap up for a friend getting married? I love them. I want you to lay down an elegant tablecloth, dust off your fancy silverware, and slide a taper into a pretty candlestick for dinner tonight — even if you're eating Stouffer's lasagna. Here's a few to get you going.

Cool Idea: CandlestickMaker

I've got a fragrant candle for the Winter season, but my candlestick collection could use a fresh, not-so-stuffy update. When it comes wine glasses, though, I'm good to go - my recycling bin will confirm this. So, I was delighted to come across the Designfenzider CandlestickMaker ($30),which will turn any wine glass into a whimsical candlestick holder. Oh so smart. Seeing that this gadget is made of glazed porcelain, I somewhat understand the cost, but I think 30 smackers is a little much to spend on something that's not actually a candlestick. On the other hand, it's so pretty with its turned wood-esque shape! It wouldn't take up much cabinet space, either. Hmm.

Do You Decorate With Rose Petals?

Rose petals are pretty cliché when it comes to Valentine's Day or Honeymoon décor. But unless they're spread all over your mattress, they can be charming. For kitschy V-day dinner décor, you could scatter them around your candlesticks. Or, you could just go with these rose soap petals from Gianna Rose Atelier. What say you?

Do You Have an Exposed Brick Wall?

I love the rugged, unfinished quality of an exposed brick wall (and I don't mean just around a fireplace). It offers a casual vibe to a room that, as beautiful as they may be, crown moldings and wainscoting just can't give you. An exposed brick wall also makes your accessories (candlesticks, vases) look all the more glamorous in comparison! And hey, Eli Stone looks pretty good in front of one, doesn't he?Photo copyright 2008 ABC, Inc.
