Sphere Chandelier For The Dining Room

Hey there!

I've been busy working on my son's room, edifice the shelves.

Well, I've been cutting forest as well as putting things together inward the garage.

I actually desire to complete that room earlier Christmas but I'm non as well as thus certain that volition happen. :/

So, the projection today was an slow one. Maybe, because I didn't produce much of the work. I convey to give a big give cheers you lot to Mr. RLC. He was the main hear behind this project. ;)

When the dining room was spruced up about 2 years ago, the chandelier the builder left was replaced for this distich of lights.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 real cheap Ikea hack alongside forest veneer. I liked it, but it got a bid damaged when I added white record during Christmas 1 year. The veneer began getting unloosen when I tried to take away the tape.

Anyway, it was fourth dimension to alter it!

This yesteryear summertime I fifty-fifty bought a big metallic basket, thinking on plow it into a lighting fixture for this room. It never happened. The handbasket is yet around the identify asset stuff.

Then, when I went to a 2nd mitt shop to honor the door for my son's closet, I institute this metallic orb/sphere. It only said: Dining room chandelier all around it! :)

They had many of these spheres, unlike sizes, as well as ones that opened upwards inward the middle similar the 1 I bought, as well as others that didn't open. The cost I paid for it was $45, it's well-nigh 25" diam. The twinkling lights around the sphere were extra.

The search for a minor chandelier to lay within the sphere began. I didn't desire to purchase a novel one, commonly the prices for chandeliers are means to a greater extent than than what I desire to pay. Besides, 2nd mitt chandeliers are slow to find.

And nosotros institute ours at the neighborhood flea market, 2 weeks ago. The mister was the 1 who spotted it as well as surprised me alongside his honor ---> Only 5 dollars!

As shortly every bit I got domicile I spray painted it white, the silvery color didn't instruct much alongside the sphere.

Well, the white 1 either.
The metallic sphere has this rusty patina that I wanted to preserve. It likewise has a fleck of lite bluish tones every bit you lot tin see.

So, subsequently the white spray pigment dried, I brought the chandelier within as well as gave it a coat of ASCP - Duck Egg Blue.

For the rusty experience I sprinkled it alongside cinnamon. Yep, you lot heard it right... Cinnamon. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tip I got from a talented blogger when she used it on this projection HERE.

It's non perfect, but I mean value it's expert enough.

As shortly every bit I was done alongside the epitome -technique as well as all- I gave it to the mister, who worked his wonders. You encounter that rusty cycle at the plow over of the chandelier? It was his idea. ;)
