S P A R K L E like crazy!

~ Let's Talk Chandeliers ~

These past few months I've been on the search for unique lighting

for the home we are building

My husband came around, agreeing to

C H A N D E L I E R S

-

and I've visited all my favorite

antique and vintage flea market shops

looking for fabulous lighting for several rooms

Above left, for my studio.  The middle one is for my walk-in closet,

and the one on the right is going in the powder room.

-

The two photos below are of the one that will go in the kitchen

-

-

These babies are going in the laundry room

{another photo of them is further down, but first take another

look at the kitchen chandy}

Oh the Sparkle!

~ there were rainbow prisms reflecting on the walls and ceiling ~

These lights for the laundry room I just found a few days ago

and were quite the bargain!

{... I just hope they will give off enough light ...)

I've been cleaning and shining these crystals,

re-attaching some that fell off between the shops and my home,

and preparing them to be hung this coming Thursday.

-

I plan to be there while the electrician works,

with a blanket under his ladder to catch any that might fall off

-

I hope he handles these with care!

(he has no idea what he is in for)

-

{Nita, if you are reading this, I too am rich in chandeliers and dogs}

-

I am using the vintage crystal chandelier

that was in my previous home's studio

in the master bath over the tub.

-

Two others I kept and spray painted,

one heirloom white for the guest room,

and one black for the bedroom.

-

I kept my former dining room chandelier

that I found at a flea market shop.

-

There will be a chandelier in the entry way that we

purchased at an actual lighting store {gasp!}

-

My husband has come a long way

from where he once was on the lighting road

{the road that had can lights in every ceiling}

-

This is the house of chandeliers and skylights

and I am giddy with excitement!
