Angela, the Parisienne Farmgirl (of the beautiful kids, lovely chickens, and honey lavender ice cream), is "requesting" to see my chandelier after it's paltry makeover. This re-do is more a case of "anything would be better" than "isn't she just amazingly clever."
Original plan? Redo the shades in a cool fabric to match the burgundy trim on plate and paint the chandy white (via Jan at Bobby Pins Boardwalk)
Shortly thereafter, a quick trip into Tuesday Morning unearthed two darling little shades. Ooooops. I need four. The manager overheard me saying something to hubby (angel intervention alert) and she said,
"Did you see the 50% off ones in the back?"
"Why, no - no I didn't."
Buried in a bin in the back of the store were 5 high quality white shades. Final cost after the additional 50% off?
$1.50 each
See how much bigger they are?
De-cluttering continues with the question, "Does a 65 year old woman really need her eighth grade report card?" Purely rhetorical as it already hit the trash can.

Your chandy is wonderful; great job! The cord will look very nice covered in that fabric. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job on your chandelier redo - very pretty! Wish I could say I accomplished that much today.
Answer to your last question - I got rid of mine long ago! :-D
Enjoy your weekend.

Great job on the candelier, it looks totally different. I am a fan of chain covers and that fabric will be super.
NICE!!
Great chandy, Adrienne. Ohhhhh, you threw away your report card? Wish you could send over some of your discipline. Susan
Absolutely gorgeous!! And what a deal on the shades. Beautiful fabric. I wish I had my 8th grade report card. My dad was the exact opposite of a pack rat. He almost threw my mom's wedding dress away when I was a teen. Good thing I caught him and snitched to my mom. Sheesh!!
Lovely redo, it's perfect! You've inspired me to repaint a light in my living room, one of those tension poles with three lights branching off of it. It's brushed nickel, from my parents house, and needs to be bronze to match the new living room in my house. Wish me luck!
Oh that turned out great. I love the fabric with it! More great things to come, huh?
