Fall Coffee Table Centerpiece for $1

Here is another fall decor post.

This is one anyone can do.

Really, anyone.

I started with this

I actually liked the original color,

but with the nicks and scratches,

I can see why they would get rid of it.

When I saw it at a garage sale for ten cents, I snatched it up. 

Knowing I had the amazing power of spray paint at my fingertips,

I took it home figuring that at some point, 

I would have the inspiring moment of clarity

where I knew what I'd do with it.

That moment of inspiration came when considering fall decor.

I found a set of cute little white pumpkin candles 

at a rummage sale for fifty cents, 

and had some leftover leaves from this project.


Then I went about painting the (platter?).
I couldn't decide between brown and black.
I chose black thinking that I could reuse that more easily 
in other seasons decor than I could with brown.
Holly or garland and a candle at Christmas, 
a votive in a pile of red and silver kisses for Valentine's Day


Of course I forgot to take a picture of the painting process.
You are lucky to have gotten a before picture,
But here is an after...

All that loveliness for less than a dollar.




LOVES!!!
