Upcycled Chandelier

from Old and Classy 

to Modern & Sassy

This is my old and classy chandelier I bought in 1981 for my dining room. She's still hangin' round! Can we say "golden"? She's a bit naked here with her bulbs and candle covers removed. Do you know what candle covers are? I had to research it to get the name of those long white things that covers the bulb holders. I won't tell if you don't!

Remodeling my kitchen & dining room into the 21st century!
The change demanded a bit of flavor for "Chandy". So I let her swing in a tree for an afternoon and gave her a much needed D&C. Ladies, you  know what that means (dusting and cleaning). Then, I gave her a facelift starting with a base coat of Krylon White Primer and removed some wrinkles and scars with a can of Citrus Green Krylon. 


Her step-by-step makeover...




 I dressed her up with new bulbs and her usual white candle covers. She be hangin' around again so colorful, sassy and modern! 

 I saved time and money. Upcycling is cool and fun!
Here's all you need:
