When planning my daughter's nursery, I combed through magazine, after magazine, looking for the PERFECT vintage inspired baby haven. Her room is a compilation of everything that made me go, "aaah!". I often found myself frustrated with the process, because everything that I liked, everything that editors were using to stage their nursery shoots with, were WAAAAYYYY out of my price range! So, bound and determined to make it happen, I shopped ebay, craigslist, flea markets, and garage sales... and we made it happen. This is the chandelier I found for the room on ebay for $20! I was so excited, because at that price I was landing a chandelier for a fraction of what it would have cost me, even at a big box store! To "fancy it up" a bit, I added crystals (so cheap at Hobby Lobby) and draped some of my great grandma's costume pearl necklaces around it. It is PERFECT for a vintage little girl room! Don't you think?! PS- I'm NOW working on covering shades for the bulbs - fabric flowers (found the fabric on sale for .50 a yard) covering chandelier shades (found them at a garage sale - 5 for $5.00).
Have a great week, and GO REVAMP A LAMP!
You are very much a girl after my own heart. I love that you created something beautiful for a fraction of the cost, that is one of a kind, for your daughter's nursery. I can't wait to see what else you do to it!
ReplyDeleteYes! A revamped lamp is just the thing! The embellishments make a statement and think how much more you will enjoy your time in that room with this addition. Nice work.
