DIY - Chandelier Tutorial in Pictures

I gave this little ol' lady a new home and a new life. I hope you enjoy my chandelier renovation pictorial.

























Sending a super huge THANKS and BLUG (that's my word for blog hug) to Roeshel at The DIY Showoff for letting me showcase LuLu's before and after shots over at her place.

Until next time...
Michael

  10. Meerje - funny that you mention that about her old clothes. I have also planned to find her a new set of clothes (2nd hand of course) and dye them a fun teal color. I'll make sure to post when I get that done.

    Jackie - thanks for the props!

    Kelli - It's taken me 6 years to find my creative soul again (post small children)...it's good to be back - wish I was there to DIY in person with you!

    Mrs. Grinder - Welcome! Hope you'll stop by often.

    Roeshel - thanks for the guest blog spot at your place. I forgot to mention that in my pictorial...just edited the post to link to you.

    Marie, Leen, and Linda - thanks for the kindness.

    Jeanne - Glad to meet you and your dog! Is the dog a girl? With a name like Mike, you never know!

    Thanks for the DIY love, everyone!
