Bling

I told you in the master bath post that I was still working on the chandelier over the tub. Well, yesterday I found what I was looking for to finish it.

Let's start at the beginning with an old shot of how the chandy did look.

I used to have the shades on it which are really bad dust collectors. So off those came.

Next thing I did was take the brown metal candle sleeves off and replaced them with these resin sleeves. Funny thing is I did this step several weeks ago and then I was looking at my blog friend, Martina's blog Northern Nesting and she was sharing the same thing she had done to her chandy. I am telling you we were joined at the hip at some point. We do so many things the same way.

Here is the look of the chandy with the new sleeves. This alone was a huge change.

I still wanted something more than just the sleeves changed. It needed some bling.

Martina had also added some crystal bling to her chandy and I told her she was doing the same thing I was to mine and that I just needed to order the crystals. Well, the kindness of bloggers literally blows me away because she emailed me and told me she had some leftover crystals and that she would send them to me if I wanted them. I offered to buy them from her and she would not let me. She is just too sweet. Thank you, Martina! She sent the large ones you see hanging.

I still wanted more bling and yesterday when I was walking through a local antique mall I found the strands of glass beads. They are five inches long and came two in a pack for $3.70. I bought six packages and brought them home and added them.

 Bam, there is that extra bling it needed. I am loving the new look. I really would love to replace the dark colored glass parts with clear ones some day when I can get the mister to take it apart and add them, but for now this works fine.

Night shot.

Now I just need to get a dimmer switch added to the lights in here. It is blindingly bright.

Thanks so much for all your comments on the bathroom.
