Day 2. Dining room bump up.
Did I really say I was going to do this chandelier chain thing today? Yes.
Did I realize I'd have to move a 2 ton table to do it?
No, but...

No, but...
So the table's been moved and here is a before picture of the light. That's a mirror on the ceiling -- around $20 from TJMaxx.
I had a local glass shop drill a
2" hole in the middle of it.
They were thrilled to be asked to do this.
They didn't exactly say so,
but I have a sense about these things...

Anyway, a tube of liquid nail and 4 honkin' big screws
later and she's there to stay.

Now for the chain.
I wanted something different and easy. I really
couldn't imagine taking the light down in order to slip a
cover on it -- I don't mind the chain THAT much.

The fabric was left over from my "French Door Dress Up" post
a while back. I slipped the cover around the chain vertically, shearing it at the top and bottom and using a little line of
fabric glue and paper clips to close it up.
In an emergency, it will have to be cut off.

Wow! What a difference the chain cover makes. Very nice. I've done the samething but your fabric is way pretter!
ReplyDeleteThat's the prettiest chain cover I've ever seen. The sheer fabric is so beautiful and elegant.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely. I've been meaning to do that too. Thanks for the bump, maybe I will do it now.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of covering the chain. What a beautiful idea.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from NFF. Great job with the chandelier. I really like the mirror.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE this chandi, ESPECIALLY the mirror!!! What a fun way to reflect light back down on the table. LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome, as usual. Keep up the great posts! Love the bird pillows, too.

What a fun idea and I love the softness that fabric gives your chandelier! I like how it's semi-permanent too, and allows you to remove it and change things up if you want to in the future. Thank you for joining us at A Crafty Soiree! I hope to see you next week too!
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty - what a great idea using the mirror as a ceiling medallion.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your chandelier and the chain cover. The medallion is amazing and I'm so happy that the mirror people were pleased that you requested this type of project (haha). You are so sweet to mention my pillow. What on earth would we do without the Graphics Fairy! What a fabulous blog!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the mirror, what a great addition!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to my Friday link party! See you next week!
This looks so elegant....love it!
