And God Said “Let There Be Light!”

And there was light...

My husband and I closed on our home on Dec. 30th.  Since that time we have slowly been working to make the house our home.  One thing that had to go was this chandelier.  I am pretty sure this thing is circa 1998.  See…..


So that’s when I saw a chandelier that I loved!  See it here. Only problem is that it cost $395 plus $28 in shipping (that’s $423 for all you non-math whizzes out there).  And I said, um…no.  But luckily I found DIY instructions and voilà!, I had a chandelier.

It cost me about $90 dollars to make.  I call that a successful day.  [Pat on the back].

  3. Here is a link to the instructions I used to make the chandelier. It looked intimidating at first, but it really wasn't too bad. Enjoy!
