As I was cleaning house and moving a few things around, I pulled these candlesticks out and wanted to use them on the dining table. As I looked at them, they really looked a little dull.
The base shows how dry the wood is and most of the lustre is gone from them.
Now they look perfect for the table. (See that wood against the wall)
It's still all the guitar making parts that my son and grandson are working on. What's a girl to do, I need to stash it somewhere when they're not here using the tools. lol
If you have something that needs a little attention, I highly recommend the Old English Oil. It comes in dark and natural. Either one is wonderful to feed your wood.

Your candle holders look great! Old English has cured a lot of wood problems for me, but did learn one thing. Let it set/dry good before fabric touches it, as it will stain - bad !
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Marty, your candlesticks look great!! I love using Old English. Have a super weekend, Martina
ReplyDeleteI need to purchase some of this. Your candlesticks look brand new now! Great vignette.

ReplyDeleteOld English has been around a long time and I love the lemon scent. Those are gorgeous candlesticks.

I've been using Old English for a long time -- it's great -- love your centerpiece! And I would do as you did -- pu the "parts" against the wall!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Old English for longer than I care to admit!! Love it. Your candlesticks are very pretty! And I'm sooo glad you shared your back wall of your dining room. Mine often looks similar ~ well, not with guitar fixings, but mirrors , etc. to list on eBay!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Pink Saturday!

WOW Marty, I can't believe the difference. I think I have some Old English in the cabinet. I'll have to give it a try. Your candlesticks look great!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,
Gail
What a difference, Marty! It really enhanced the wood. I have used Olde English on furniture that has had a scratch and it covers well. A bottle of that lasts a long time, too.
ReplyDeleteOld English is great stuff for covering knicks and scratches!My favorite for feeding wood is The Natchez Solution. It is sold in nice furniture stores around here. I use it once a year on my furniture. Love those candlesticks!
ReplyDeleteI have used the old english for years! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I thought you were going to show how you spray painted them. lol I love the rich look of the wood. Old English is a staple in my cleaning closet.
ReplyDeleteWOW!..that just brought those candlesticks back to life,I need to get some,and revive things around here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being such a wonderful host for TT,and the highlights this week are fantastic!
Hope you can visit LazyonLoblolly.

I love your candlesticks holders, Marty. I thought they were bedposts at first, lol cause I would love them as bed posts too, in a bigger version of course!...Christine
ReplyDeleteOh, Marty, Old English has been taking care of my furniture for over 50 years now. Love it, too
ReplyDeleteHi Marty,
ReplyDeleteI too, love love love old English,
it makes things looks brand new again. I use it on my dark wood trim and baseboard every couple of years or so. Amazing!!
Your candle sticks look wonderful!!
Blessings, Nellie
HI Marty! Love the look....and what a difference. I'm sure if I just dusted it would make a difference....hahahahaha...the wood would look much better! HOpe you are doing very well!
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Debbie
What a difference! I've used Old English polish, but I've never tried the stuff for scratches. I must remember to buy some the next time I'm in the store.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone here tried Howard's Restore-a-finish?

Good Morning Marty...Girl I have used Old English for over 50 years..It really is the best stuff..My mama use to use it on her dust mop even ha ha!! I pray all is well in your world my friend..Many Blessings to you..Hugs and smiles Gloria
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candlesticks Marty, Old English has been in my cupboard for as long as I've been married.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome. I love Old English. Also, Bar Keepers friend is great on metal...I bought an old brass bamboo tray for $10 this morning at a rummage sale and it looks beautiful after a little "elbow grease." Darn! Should have taken a before photo like you did. Lovely table.
ReplyDeleteI have and use old english too! I love it for my armoir and coffee table...By the way your candlesticks are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMarty, just today I thought I needed to give some of our wood pieces a bit of attention. I'll try this. Thanks! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeletei LOVE your table and the fact that it can become half its size; great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the Old English. i think I need to invest in some of this.
Tammy
Your candlesticks are so pretty! Love Old English, it really is great to keep on hand!
ReplyDeleteOld English is really important to have on hand at all times....especially in my home with the constant banging into furniture by my little angels :)
ReplyDeleteI love Old English, I like how it hides scratches. Your centerpiece looks lovely, you have a true gift for vignettes! Thank you for sharing this on Masterpiece Monday. Have a great week, Mary :O)
ReplyDeleteNow I thought you might bring out the spray can as so many of us do. What a great idea instead to use some Old English. I have a very old (thirty years old) bottle of Old English and it's still going strong.
ReplyDeletethe candlesticks look great...and the floral arrangement is lovely..very pretty diningroom!
