Ugly no more.

March 30, 2010 by Michelle Hinckley |

One of the things I regularly look for at thrift stores are lamps and chandeliers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come accross these very dated chadeliers and passed them up. Well, Mrs. Devore didn’t pass them up. She had a vision and went to work.

This is one of the best transformations I’ve seen in a long time! I’m off to look for a couple of ugly chandeliers. Bravo Mrs. Devore!

    Looks FABULOUS! Can you tell us your secret, how you did it? 😉 I have an ugly chandelier that’s sitting in my attic bc I’m not sure how to attach the shade. It looks similar the one you’ve purchased, but it has the hanging etched glass. I’d love to hear your ideas!
