I know! I've teased way too long! We had this original builder's dome in our hallway.. very uninspiring and ugly! You know how you want to replace it and then baby number one comes.. and then number 2.. and then well.... So that's it! I finally rescued that thrift store find out of it's dark, dank corner of my spider infested garage. A little paint as you saw in the previous post and...
Tah-dah!
Some glam for my upstairs hallway! I think it changes the whole look! And I love that I can always put chandelier shades on it if I like to change it up (because you know me..)
Here's the stunt shot for a better look!
I'd like to thank the academy(my dear hubby) for hanging the chandelier for me and for believing me that a chandelier would look good even when other's doubted you can hang a 16 inch chandelier on an 8 foot ceiling. Hey, as long as no one's over 6'4, it's all good.
And I'm hooked on this! To see more things people are hooked on, visit Hooked on houses!
or head over to Between naps on a porch for metamorphosis monday!
And join in on the make-over party here on the 25th!
Great job...it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!!! Love it! Great job!! Hugs, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I LOVE IT! I was thinking as I was looking at it that I MUST copy this and then reality hit when I remembered I have ugly cottage cheese ceilings in this 1969 apartment. I am tucking this away for the future when I have a better place!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice :-)
ReplyDeleteAs long as it fits and it works in your space, I think you can hang a chandelier anywhere, even in a hallway :-)
