There she is... a chandelier redo and one very happy nannygoat.


I've been keeping an eye open for my "diamond in the rough".
Checking yard sales... goodwill... thrift stores.
Finally found her here.
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.
I made a simple chord cover to soften things up a bit.





So pretty.
But, not quite there yet.

So, I added little lampshades...

MMmmmmm.... there we go.
