Look At What I Spotted!

So apparently adding these flower shaped brass bobesches to my chandelier...


{after stripping it of paint}


...was right on trend!


{crystals and round light bulbs were also added for an extra little funk}



Because...look at this new light fixture I just spotted.
From Circa Lighting, the Darlana Large Chandelier by Sandy Chapman.



Seeing it made me smile...
Pin It!

Of course you are on trend.....duh.......and I am loving both your light and the one pictured. I like that yours has a little more modern feel to it though......

thanks to you, I discovered antique gold Rub N Buff and thce rest is history! I added the small clear round bulbs to our chandelier and loved the look but they ended up being too bright so I used the dimmer a lot. Just switched to regular round bulbs because of the glare and my eyes are happier. Prefer the appearance of the clear, however. Crystals add that touch of glam!

My friend showed me a picture of your chandelier several months ago via DecorPad. When she showed me I was like, "Wait a minute...I've seen that before!" Then I promptly led her to your blog for the specifics. That confirmed it...I read too many blogs!

Janell, even if it were not a trend you have great taste and the chandelier does look amazing with how you have transformed it.

World Travel Mom said...

Lovely! What a creative transformation.

Carol@TheDesignPages said...

Both lovely but I actually prefer the lines of yours. This could be another case of manufacturers turning to blogs for inspiration.
