Ty all for your input...

Lil, Steph, Lixy, all great ideas, ones we'd thought of but then ruled out.

Campingboy, WI, Catch22, have to admit I hadn't given any of those ideas a thought.

Thank you Nikki & jseal, if you both know its for candles then I guess it must be, I don't know why it'd be hung so low. I should think candles would be half-way up the wall.

Thanks everyone.
