Another Thrift Store Light Fixture

  I have been admiring this chandelier from Overstock.com:


 It costs $140; not terrible, but $3 sounds a lot better right?!

I thought so! So when I came across this light fixture below at our local Deseret Industries for $3 and thought it resembled it, I was ecstatic!  Worth the risk at that price!  I brought it home, cleaned it up, removed the glass, and tested it to see if it worked.



Originally, I was going to spray paint it oil rubbed bronze like the Overstock one above.  However, I ended up liking the brassy finish on it and decided to leave it as it was.



I LOVE it, it really adds ambiance to the space...and for $3 YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!

  1. The color of it works great with your linens. I bet it would be really cool with a dinner switch. That duvet cover looks like the Vanessa floral print from Pottery Barn. It's really pretty too.
