This horribly unattractive thing is what was in our dinning room when we first moved in... Luckily it didn't stay long. We received a beautiful Tiffany style chandelier as a wedding gift so we were happy to put it up... quickly. I decided to keep it for what ever reason and it's been up in my attic for almost 2 years. I came across a Better Homes and Garden magazine and found an article about 'rescued treasures' and thats when I pulled this old ugly chandelier out of the attic and decided it needed to be 'rescued.'So I got to work.... and here is my project progress:
I removed all the candle sticks and bulbs and taped up the sockets.
Covered with 2 coats of primer.
Added 2 coats of pretty peachy spray paint.
Wrapped the candlesticks with pretty craft paper that matched the color scheme of my living room and added some floral beaded embellishments.
Found this clear beaded christmas garland at Hobby Lobby. I attached it to the chandelier with floral wire.
And Voila!
Who would have thought this treasure was just hanging out in my attic for the last 2 years?! I love it! and it was soooo easy!
So don't throw away those old ugly unwanted pieces.... rescue them!
