What a great post! It makes me want to redecorate my house... Those beautiful candle holders from Ten Thousand Villages are actually natural onyx, not wood, by the way. They range in color from light green to the dark browns pictured.
Thanks so much for the comment and for clarifying Joelle. Onyx candle holders sound even more luxe!
