Several years ago, I was walking through a flea market and kept seeing all these tall multi-height skinny brass candelsticks. I liked them...but I didn't like that they were brass. And then one day, away from the flea market, it occurs to me that I have the ability to change the color of those brass candlesticks if I so choose. And I so chose. And as soon as I had this realization, it seems someone else must have had the same idea, because those candlesticks suddenly seemed hard to find. I found a total of 8 before stopping my search.
Their first reincarnation into a new color was silver. But over the years, that color has scratched off a bit. Since moving, I've decided to embrace this oil-rubbed bronze craze and try it out in the new house here and there.

I like them! I just need to find candles that fit them now. The tops are smaller than most tapered candlesticks. The hunt continues...
