No More Brass...

We have now lived in this house two years and four months. I have been in a constant search for chandeliers to replace the one in my dining room and the foyer. All of the chandeliers I liked were well over $1000.00 each, and I definitely was not going to spend that much money. Actually, I really could not find one I liked any better than what I already had. The shape and the style of the ones that came with the house were perfect. Just them being brass was the only problem...

 So my solution was... To take the chandeliers down from the ceiling. Spray paint them black and buy new lamp shades. I was so excited about finding the white shades at Goodwill for .99 cents each!!! The red and white shades came from Stein Mart for $4.99 each...

Thank you Randy for always helping me with my crazy projects, and never ever complaining...

    Your blog is adorable. I am in need of a chandelier, and I don't want to spend a $1,000, so this is a great idea! Thanks!
