Making a chandelier for your kitchen...
1. Find an antique broom holder.
2. Go outside to umbrella stand. Remove candleholder and bring inside. Turn it upside down and secure in place.
3. Purchase silverware from Goodwill. Persuade husband to drummel holes in ends of forks and spoons. Secure with wire and pretty little crystals.
4. Be amused months later upon seeing this....retail $4800 at Anthropologie.

Wow! That is great!! In response to your question, I just painted right on top of the glass! Not sure if that's the best way to do it but so far so good! Have fun with your new blog :)

ReplyDelete$4800.00 ? Wow! This is such a fun little project, thank you for the time you took to post it : )
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law did something similar and made a little wind chime with old silverware, he bent the tines of the forks in a uniquue way to maximize their 'tinkling' sounds... It never dawned on me to bring the idea indoors!
Love your story in the personal profile too; good job on your marriage and your family!
Ciao~

ReplyDeleteCindy at Lakewood
Made one for the lake house, used a small round hanging pot rake, drilled holes, wired the spoons and forks on, strung a small light in the middle, all for about $45.00

I think it looks better than the Anthropologie one!! Awesome find with the antique broom holder. And even more awesome idea of what to do with it!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Brocante chandelier at Anthropology is actually from my showroom Interieurs and designed by Jose Esteves.it has been the most copied of all our unique pieces. The real thing is actually in silver, handmade by one of the most creative lighting artist I have worked with.You should come and see his show in New York and perhaps share with your readers the creative process that goes behind a design. I am happy to see that artsy followers try to emulate the look but I cannot bear any more the awful knock off that one finds at the furniture shows.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Francine and sharing about the piece at Anthropology. It's beautiful. I put my piece together on a whim, and stumbled upon the real deal one day online. I'm off to learn more about Jose Esteves. Thanks again!
