Trash to Treasure

I found these babies at Goodwill not too long ago for two dollars.

They looked rusty, but it wasn't rust.  I'm not sure what kind of look they were going for.  P.S. Note that my fingernails are painted.  This is a once in a million years event.  It came off like a week later.  Possibly sooner.

I thought silver candlesticks would be nice, but I didn't want to pay for actual silver, but I didn't mind paying for this:



Put them together and what do you get?



Look at that sheen!  Look at that shine!  Beautiful, silver candlesticks!  Now I just need to figure out what else is going to go on the mantle with them.
