Thank you Susan for hosting this wonderful event again! http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/For this week I'm going to show you a very small update. In the room we call our "Everything Room" hangs a light that I loved so much I brought it with us from our last house. I couldn't leave it there as I had been to 5 lighting stores and more websites than I can count attempting to track it down. It isn't a fancy light at all but I love the glass candlesticks that look as though they are dripping real wax and the textured black finish. As much as I love the light, I thought for this particular room it needed "more." Here it is before:
And here it is after its $25 upgrade. I went to Joanns and found some beautiful beads to string together. Then I went to Home Depot where I bought the hanging crystals for added sparkle. I draped it inside the curls and I am so happy with it now. The room is small so I didn't want anything too fancy. Just enough to bring some added personality.

Now that just seems so simple, but to have the vision to add the beads takes talent. The light is just perfect. Hugs, Marty

The small transformations are often the best because of the quick change at a bargain.
Love the new sparkle.
Have a wonderful Monday,

What a sweet little chandelier!! The beads & crystals are perfect -- they add just the right amount of glam and sparkle :-) Great idea!!
I totally understand why you're attached to this chandelier -- I feel the same way about our living room chandelier. I hit every store in town looking for it, and looked all over the Internet too. It took about 4 months of searching and legwork, but the chandelier is now hanging in our LR and I love it :-)
Bring on the bling...looks wonderful girl!! hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Darling and i love that you made it yourself! So pretty....
Oh man! That is georgeous!!!!
Great job!
