What's a girl to do when she's tired of looking at these....?
...she finds this....
...flips one of these...
...removes these...
...and these...
..looks at this....takes a deep breath and....
..hangs these....
One pair of thrift store finds...50 dollars.
One pair of trembling hands (and lots of wires)...0 dollars.
Replacing a set of light fixtures without the help of Mr. PML....Priceless!
Oh Happy Day!!

Good for you! They're beautiful and make your room look so cozy and enchanted at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTruly priceless! Way to go Michelle - I have been so tempted to do something like that but very intimidated - I had issues with Grade 10 Physics - the electricity part! You make it sound pretty easy and I love the change!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!! You are a very brave girl, way braver than I am. The pay off is well worth it though, you got them up, no waiting. Now for that I will try to overcome me fear of electricution!!! Theresa
ReplyDeleteYou are simply amazing. I work for electrical contractors and I wouldn't have had the courage to do that! :) I am so proud of you. And of course, those chandeliers are gorgeous and what a find. Make a nice dinner under those babies and relax.
ReplyDeleteYour my hero! How bout a step by step tutorial? LOL It seems I'm always asking you to share your secrets. Lisa
ReplyDeleteYour chandeliers are beautiful, Michelle! I admire you for hanging them up yourself. I like to work with tools but I would have no idea which wires to connect.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
