old chandelier – new look

When we purchased our house in 2008, we both agreed that the dated chandelier in the dining room had to go. 

Along with most of the super-generic builder’s grade lighting fixtures throughout the house.  We splurged and purchased a gorgeous Italian chandelier for the dining room, but I wasn’t in a hurry to dispose of the old one immediately.  The plan was to convert the office, directly across from the dining room, back into a parlor, the originally intended purpose for that room.  So I knew it would need a chandelier.

Primer, latex paint and glazing liquid to the rescue. 

Fresh and simple.

This looks more like a parlor, doesn’t it?

And it’s even better with people sitting inside visiting.

Lovely too, with Christmas prettiness.

Thank you for reading!
