Janeys Journey's DIY Chandelier

22609-chandelier01.jpgWe've seen a lot of great projects this month from the small to the complex. Janeys Journey's chandelier makeover, which she posted on the Apartment Therapy LA Group Pool, is a simple yet effective DIY, requiring only a little time, a little paint and a some patience to create something unique and beautiful...

 
 

After chasing the chandelier around a few flea markets, she finally snagged it for $25. In her own words:

Here's the before and the almost done. I painted it white and now comes the fun part. Yellow and lime green and blue and lavender and magenta but I might change the magenta to a pink. It's going to replace a 35 yr old plastic light fixture that came with the apt. It will look just lovely over my white docksta table and pink chairs

So far so good. We look forward to seeing the end result in place. Nice work!

Nice.For once I find myself approving of a paint job on an older item.
