This was my inspiration,
a three thousand dollar chandelier I saw in a magazine.
Can't afford that!! I would have to get a job for Mike.
So I checked out our local junk store " Hokey Gees"
and found an old 1970's chandelier with tons of crystals on it.
Wished I had taken a "before" picture but it was as big on the top
as below the "crown" part. An ugly rusted gold color.
The picture below is after we took the top piece off.
We took it all apart and sprayed it with primer.
It had so many parts I had to take pictures to remember
where everything went.
Mike remembered we had a crystal piece left over
from another light fixture so we added that.
Then I went to work painting it to try and
match the inspiration piece.
Also painted a medallion for the ceiling.
Put back on all the crystals.....that took
forever......and this is our
version of the chandelier.
Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. Too busy
travelling and enjoying Bedford.
