In fact, I've bought one but after it was sprayed, I checked out the wiring and two lights weren't working. My husband couldn't (didn't want to)spend the time needed to fix a $5 light. So, I ended up making it a "candle"labra for an outside porch. It's still in the garage, not sure it's going to make it out!<br />Yours looks great and the crystals are perfect!!!Sharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685297014593446248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-11375273662820167622013-08-12T22:52:29.642-04:002013-08-12T22:52:29.642-04:00And spray paint too!

I would have been so worried about how it was going to look when I finished spraying the bursts of paint on it that it would have stopped me in my tracks. Good thing you weren't worried, because this is a huge success. The added bling finishes it beautifully. I'm wondering if you even need to hang on to the rest of your chandelier funds. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but notice that how beautiful your chairs look around the table.

Because A - It had a great shape and B - I knew I could paint it black and it would look colonial and C- I knew I didn't have to use the glass globes at all. It now hangs over my dining room table and we love it!<br /><br />Yours turned out wonderfully!
