Upcycled Antique Crystal Chandelier

The rainy weekend allowed us to finish our kitchen chandelier re-vamp!

David found this antique crystal chandelier on his way home from work (when we lived in Brooklyn, NY) and it was covered in dirt.  Fourteen years later, it's been rewired and transformed!

All of the adornments are lead crystal antiques that we've collected over the years... each wired and attached by hand... a one-of-a-kind creation!

This picture shows the design without the lampshades...

With the lampshades on...

dreaming of a white Christmas...

Designing this mini collection for our client has been so fulfilling!  We usually create an item individually and when it's complete, we move on to something entirely different. 

For this collection, we imagined a cohesive grouping of bright sterling silver and ice crystals... the mood is so appropriate for this time of year... we're dreaming of a white Christmas :)

What a neat idea... offer up the gifts and allow them to pick their favorite... each similar in presentation but unique in composition... no ear wire or crystal is the same!  Enjoy!
