No Mere Chandelier

 Oct 2, 2009

Happy Friday! Get ready for some chandelier makeovers comin' atcha! I have amassed a healthy collection of chandelier before and afters, and what I love about them is they are ALL THE SAME chandelier! Even I have it! (Try to guess which is mine. Ok, I'll tell you. It's the first one!) So, without further ado, here are the ladies:


Woof!

Some matte black and toile covered shades, courtesy of moi. (Ha ha, I linked to myself, so I wouldn't feel left out!) Ok, moving on:


The two-tiered version, simple and chic, by The Mrs. at House it Going. (Gotta love that name!)



Miss Mustard Seed herself, went the extra mile by including faux wax-drippings made with a glue gun! Brilliant!



A fall-ified, oil-rubbed-bronze beauty from the Enchantresses 3. See more HERE.



I would redecorate my whole existence around this one. From Cookie.



I sincerely revere this premier chandelier! Very glamourous redo from Cathy at The Stylish House.
And now here are a couple that aren't the same, but were too fun to resist!



Funky ribbon fun from David.



If I'm not mistaken, I believe this was done with nail polish! Of all things! Wowzers. From Theresa. Have a great weekend friends!

I have been looking for an old chandelier to remake for my dining room, the light we have now points down (and is soldered) and is HOT, plus I can't do anything fabulous with it!!! Thanks for the links! I am following you.

You are too funny! Linking to yourself so you don't feel left out. Thanks for my smile for the morning. I love chandelier transformations! The ribbon one has to be my favorite, but I can't imagine the time it took to do that.

Love them all. Yours - matte black - perfect. But that blue one ... I also gasped. Okay, I gasped for the ribbon one too.

Wow! They are all so beautiful. It is amazing how the same item can be transformed so many different ways. Now I can't wait to get one for myself!!

Thanks for the mention! I always love it. Anyway, I love the blue one and the funky green & pink one. Really great makeovers and proof that you don't need to drop a chunk of change on a new chandelier.

I really like the ribbon chandelier! I have another one to redo and I am liking that idea. Mine isn't finished yet, I still have to put the dangles back. I dipped some of the dangles in nail polish but they looked awful, so I have to clean them.The rest of the chandelier was done using acrylic paint mixed with white glue.
regards,
Theresa

Oh thank God I'm not the only one with this horrible chandelier. I needed some great ideas for rehabbing mine. A must-do-immediately project!
