A lonely light bulb. |
And what the chandy looked like before:
Of course, then we painted it and it was time to hang-er-up! (Shout-out to my dad for handling the installation... woot-woot!)

The only problems I ran into after hanging it were:
(1) That the tiny holes on the "flower petals" (you'll see those below) closed up with paint. I spent some took some time on the ladder poking a safety pin through them. Actually, I couldn't find safety pins at first and had to use my poor Humane Society name tag. I'll need a replacement.
(2) That one of the hooks for the chandelier beads was missing (manufacturer defect). Bummer because it was so close to being done! So I ran to Hobby Lobby and found some little metal pieces in the jewelry section that were the perfect size. I attached one with some glue and we were good to go!

Enough chit-chat. It's time for the reveal.
These little crystals remind me of a lamp my grandmother had in her house. I always thought it was so "fancy" and regal. So Seth's first impression was actually pretty appropriate: "It's fancy!"
I really like the shadow it casts at night. I totally planned that. Okay no, that's a lie. But it's a neat surprise, right?
I think it's an improvement from the bare lightbulb... and for a mere $25 plus paint supplies! What do you guys think?

I love it! I'm going to restore a chandelier that was hanging in our bathroom. It's painted black right now and the crystals were tucked away in a drawer. I hope to make it look like yours!!
