DIY chandelier...

I am going for it. This little guy that I spied over at The Brick House has had my brain in a constant debate..."Looks easy!", "Gosh, I don't know?", "How hard can it be? I should just go for it!"...like I said, I am going for it. Our vintage Brunswick pool table has been in dire need of proper lighting and I am sure that this chandelier will look perfect over it. I will let you know how we make out...

  2. I have always loved this fixture and the original one it was inspired by ($$$$). Good luck! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
    P.S, dig the new blog layout!

  4. It wasn't hard! Well, my husband looked like he was having an easy time, at least ;)
    We did strip a wire trying to jam so many of them through one narrow spot, which shorted out the wiring after a few weeks! We had to re-do the whole thing. If you haven't already made it, let us know if you have any questions...the second time I think my husband got thinner electrical wire (i.e. the kind used for vacuum cleaner cords??) and it went much better.
