Another Chandie

Here is another chandie I picked up this past weekend at a garage sale. I used different prisms on this one, and added strings.



Instead of using my white glaze over the original finish, like I did with the previous one, I gave it a grey base coat first.



I was in such a hurry to get at it, that this is the only before I have.










I'll be back with that old world finish I mentioned before.

    I love when you're so excited about a project that you get halfway through before realizing you don't have a before pic. Very nice. :)

    Perfection. I so wish you could come and transform my chandie in my dining room. It's bright brass and very traditional...but it was a gift from my parents and has great sentimental value. I thought about painting it ORB or cream but haven't done a thing yet. You are great inspiration though!

    I love myself a gorgeous chandelier, I am way to lazy though and always spray them, of course I don't get that old world look! Girlfriend, where do you sell all of this, I don't think you have ever mentioned a store? I think you have mentioned selling at an antique fair?

    Beautiful Rosemary. I like the idea of the grey base beneath the white base coat. So pretty!
