I've been keeping an eye open for my "diamond in the rough".
Checking yard sales... goodwill... thrift stores.
I saw another lady eyeing her but I swooped in and grabbed her quick as a wink.
She was a mere $15.00!
A little spray paint primer (best invention ever!).
Then I spray painted her with Krylon's "Celery" which is a light creamy green color. Yum.
The Chandelier was missing the candlesticks that cover all the electrical so I made my own.
I bought a plastic tube at Home depot and cut it into five little "candlesticks" then I use hot glue to give it the look of dripping wax... perfect.
Finally, I spray painted the candles white so they looked like this...
We knew we wanted to swag the light so that it hung over the bed in my 9-year-old daughters room so we bought a "Swag kit" from Home Depot with extra long cord and chains.

Great find! It pays to be thrifty! You have such great style and I love reading your tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing.
I love it! Perfect for a little girl's room!
I just realized you live in Kennewick, so I called Shan, and she beat me to the punch emailing you....How great that she knows someone there! When we visit her, I will definitely have to stop in and say hello!
Cute chandelier! Your house is beautiful!

Great Job!!! Great idea with the white tubing and hot glue!
Beautiful transformation!
I've been reading your blog for awhile, you are one talented lady! I would have never thought to make wax drips with hot glue. Genius!
That's so cool! When I saw the "before" pic I grimaced and quite honestly questioned your taste...forgive me! Your foresight is awesome!
love it! dream for a lil girls bedroom too! :)
Love it lady! So sweet.
Your Grandma Law would be proud, I know I am and I know Hallie loves it.
What a lucky girl! It looks great! You did a wonderful job!

I’m always looking for upcycles like this.
In the end, you don’t know it was a shipping pallet to begin with!
Really very happy to say, your post is very interesting to read.
I never stop myself to say something about it.
