This chandelier used to be in the foyer by our front door - it came with the house and was originally bright gold but we spray painted it matte black right when we moved in and I decorated little lamp shades that covered each bulb. Fast forward 20 years and I realize it's definitely time to replace the fixture, it just didn't do it for me in the foyer anymore so we found an updated version. I didn't have plans to keep the old fixture until I thought it might look cool in my craft room - and it does, it looks great (and provides way more light than I used to have). I got rid of the lamp shades and traded the old clear candle shaped bulbs for round frosted ones. Love it now - unlike when it was in the foyer!
Welcome to day camp - it's either a place for you to get inspired and want to make stuff, or a place where I can show off the cute things I've made since my family is tired of my texting them pictures every day! Just like camp I do all kinds of fun projects - crafts, DIY, bake, cook, garden and more - and can't wait to share them with anyone looking for ideas.
