I love to find old things and give them new life. I'm a sucker for a good before and after, and that's mostly what you'll find on here. I'm not above dumpster diving either :)

Chandelier Makeover
I received this beauty from Michael, who is remodeling his house. He took this it down and asked if I would want anything to do with it. Of course I did!! I could hardly wait to get my hands on it. I cleaned off the years of dirt, completely unwired it and got rid of several bees and moths that had met their demise there. I primed it and thought I wanted it silver but it just wasn't working. So I repainted it my favorite--oil rubbed bronze, and got these fancy little candles to put in it. I have some extra chain and going to hang it above my bathtub. I've always wanted a candleabra there!! Now, stay tuned for what I'm gonna do w/those nice little bulb covers....
