I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately, the first week has been hectic and pretty stressful, although I love all that I am getting the opportunity to do. I'm gone at school or in the classroom I am working in most of the day and by the time I get home I am absolutely exhausted. Oh well, it'll just a schedule I have to get used to...no excuses being made here! On to my post and the inspiration of the day!
I really think that candles can just do something for a room. Whether they are lit or not there is something about them that makes any atmosphere calm and elegant. But what is a candle without a beautiful candlestick or candle holder underneath? Check these lovelies out...

I love the beautiful gold accents (see the gold candlesticks on the table!) in this white room.
I love the natural look of these driftwood candle holders.
I am not a huge fan of using antlers or deer heads in decor, but it is quite the trend right now and these are two candle holders that incorporate that trend.
I love the country feel of using mason jars as candle holders. These jars are from Pottery Barn and cost $7.50 each! I was a little shocked when I saw this price as it seemed way overpriced...my thoughts were confirmed when I found a pack of 25 mason jars for $5.00 at my local Walmart. The jars didn't have the wire handles on them but they could easily be made and attached, making this country look manageable at a much cheaper price!

Have a good weekend lovelies!

Hi Carly:) I love candles and this wonderful post has inspired me to make a candle holder like the driftwood image above, perhaps using a piece of original timber from our house (100yrs old)...I love the mason jars too, good on you for finding a cheaper but just as wonderful alternative. If you make some candle holders out of them, I would love to see them:) Hope you have a relaxing weekend - Tina x
Great post Carly. I've got lots of candles around our home but I often forget to light them :) Must do that more often. I like the tealight candles in the jars - would be lovely for outdoor entertaining. I have something similar to the tealights in the 'logs' in my wishlist too. Hope your second week of studying isn't too hectic x
I am a candle lover too and every night our lounge is lit by lots of candles. There is something magical and mesmorising about candles.
Good luck with the studying.
