I'm so close to having my bathroom finished and I wanted to show off the piece de resistance. This chandelier has changed everything in the room. The lighting has always been lame even when all the bulbs were working (which was a rarity since the second I changed one bulb one of the others seemed to go out within a day).
We took this chandelier out of one of the kids room (she wants a ceiling fan so it was fine) so I didn't have to buy anything but the accessories and I already had the spray paint. Joey made about 6 trips up into the crawl space to install the light box and then adjust and re-adjust until it was just right.
We were trying to find a way to make it look clean and finished when I happened upon this glorious medallion at Home Depot. It looked perfect with the canopy kit we were already holding (which Joey loved because it had all the parts already in it so he could put it all together neatly and easily (we were already on our second try with the installation). A couple quick coats of paint and we were good to go.
Beautiful twinkles.
I put a lot of effort into the prep work for painting it (little 4 year old hand just couldn't stay out of the picture). I just cut up some napkins into strips and wrapped all the "chrystals" into the strips of paper. I'm a sucker for good prep work since I've had to clean up too many messes after the fact (whether sewing or doing any other project). It always pays to take your time up front.
Here's a picture with my new shower curtain. A few more finishing touches and I'm ready for the big reveal (including some nasty before pictures).
Happy Monday! Have a wonderful week!
