Chandy Redux

Yep, that's it........everybody's chandelier; brass, lots of curlicues, some candle-like bulb holders, just add lots and lots of glass sparkles.  It's is beautiful, I've always wanted one!

My son and daughter-in-law owned this one, I loved it.  They did not.  My son is tall and this hung too low and, where it was located, he keep hitting his head on it....painful!  I didn't care for the fixture I had in my dinning room.....so the deal was struck....we traded!

I am on a quest to simplify....so first thing I did was remove the brass "s" shaped decorative pieces near the top............then I painted it white.......................

nice!.....but I wanted something that had more "star power".  Our living room/dinning room walls are a shade of grayed blue-green and the drapes and carpet white....I wanted some POP!

Well............................turquoise, should do it!

Those who love white would not approve, those who love color will love it......I love color!  If, you preferred the original brass....you've hit "delete".

 

For many years, I have had a the floral, pastel "shabby chic" decor.  As I said, I am wanting to simplify but I still have lots of antiques and "shabby" pieces that I want to keep in my life.  So, now, I am striving for something more eclectic.

Behind door #1 the shutters/screen, sits our not very esthetic, but extremely necessary, exercise bike!  A some what, desperate attempt at disguise but better than staring at the black hulk of a machine. Works for me!

 

Most of my art work displays that "love of color", too, as you can see!

I'm going to try something new...I love the blog; Between Naps on the Porch, so this Monday I am linking to Metamorphosis Monday.  See you there!

I am joining two parties this beautiful Wednesday, Kathleen's Faded Charm Cottage and Woo Hoo Wednesday at Always Nesting.  Check out the talented bloggers on these sites for a ton of inspiration!
