The Tiny Chandelier

STILL working on my daughters bedroom make over. I haven't forgotten.....there have just been a bazillion things coming up in between.

Some of you may remember the little chandelier I picked up at a yard sale over the summer. 
Here it is in it's new glory, I painted it and added a white chain cover made from a strip of sheet.

 Here is it's previous form...
 So yeah anyways with some luck some day I will have her room done. Something always sets me back on it. After hanging the chandelier I sat on her antique bed and the rails gave way....I'm pretty sure I got 3 broken toes out of the deal.

  3. Ouch! Hope you heal well. I'm still experiencing problems with both feet after severe sprains on them 7 years ago. The ortho said that a break is actually the better injury of the two!
    Wanted to ask you how the tent you ordered held up- is it sturdy and of decent quality? For the money- it sounds too good to be true. I
    wanted to see how you liked yours before Iordered one. Let me know. :-)
    Are you going to do Horton's Christmas show next month?

  4. Oh dear! I hope your toes feel much better soon! That sounds very painful!

    On the topic of your chandelier, I must say I LOVE it! It is simply beautiful, and what a lovely touch for your daughter's room! :)

    I know just what you mean about room projects that take longer than you think, things coming up! {I am feeling just like this with our master bedroom redo.} But I know your daughter's room is going to be so beautiful when you are done! :)

    I hope your day is a lovely one!

    Blessings,

  6. Sorry to hear about your toes!

    I love the chandy, I just bought one very similar to yours. Mine has one broken arm so I am hopefully getting that repaired so I can paint like you did. I love how yours turned out, gives me inspiration for sure!

  15. OK I have questions about the chandelier. I love it. Was it sterling silver or silver plated, before you painted it? What kind of paint did you use? Was it spray paint? details Nicki, details. I might want to do something like that when we move.

    How did your sale go Saturday. There was no way I could go after that argument with my Shug Thursday night!
