I received several emails as well as a couple of comments asking to see my laundry room chandelier. Of course, I am so thrilled you have asked and are interested in seeing it so I thought I would go ahead and post a picture of it. The room is currently a shade of pale French inspired blue. I have been giving a lot of thought though lately, as to whether or not to paint the room in a pretty shade of cream or linen. I love the blue but after 2 years of it, I am thinking I need a change.Anyway, back to the chandy...I got it from Freecycle. Have any of you heard of this oh-so-fabulous organization? It's wonderful! When I got it, the light was brass in color - just one of those builder grade lights that comes with a house. I got out the trusty spray can of white paint and gave it a few coats. Then, I hung the glass prism drops from it, and for a finishing touch, I added pearl Christmas tree garland to jazz it up a bit. And there you have it - the laundry room chandy - another fun trash to treasure project that cost under $5.00. Gotta love that!
Thank you all for asking about it! I appreciate your interest. Good night all and sweet dreams. Until tomorrow..
xo,
Kathleen

Oh, it's gorgeous! I might even enjoy doing laundry if I had something like that to greet me!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteOhhh Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for 'hearing me,' and showing photos of your Laundry Room Chandy. It is precious. {And so inexpensive, makes it all the more so!}
What a talented 'eye' you have, to "see" the possibilities. Therein lies the secret. Having that 'eye.' I fear mine is quite 'clouded.' And it makes me marvel, to see what other ladies can do.
With luck, visiting in such on-line-journaling places ~ some of that 'eye' will rub off on me. :-)
I can hope!

Now this would keep me washn'!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project!! It's amazing what you can do with some imagination and creativity :-) And a can of spray paint!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pretty light fixtures in rooms where you don't normally see them. They're an unexpected way to really dress up a space :-)
Great job!!

I love it. And I can't believe you did this for under $5.00. You always find the best stuff and have the best DIY projects. I gotta get you to GA and take you with me when I go junking!
ReplyDeleteHey Kathleen! I can't remember if I've left you a comment or not but I recently discovered your blog and love, love, love it! Can you PLEASE show your entire laundry room cause any room with such a wonderful chandy has just got to be out of this world!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love your name...that's my mom's name and my daughter's middle name.
Hugs!

Oh Kathleen I love this. This is so funny because I have been searching every where for pale turqoise beads to add to my old chandelier. I haven't had any luck within my price range and I did check out Christmas garland. I would love to use some sort of turqoise stone bead, kind of a tiffany blue. I found some but I would have to mortgage my house! You are one creative heart. I just love what I see here and I will be back to see all of your posts another day when I have more time. Hugs, Cindy
