Remember the blue chandelier redo that I did a few weeks ago? It sat around here for weeks and my hubby kept asking when I was going to list it for sale. I just couldn’t decide what I wanted for it and I really just didn’t want to let it go. So I didn’t.
It is now hanging in my kitchen!
It was horrible for poor Topher to get that heavy thing up the ladder and hang it that high, but he was a trooper and did a great job.
I love it.
Now I just need him to paint my cabinets white and put in a new backsplash that has a little blue in it to tie it all together. He will be so excited to do that! (not). Anyway here are the new pics.

It is gorgeous! Reminds me of one I got at GW for $10
And Tuck hung it in the guest room. It is the same color! These are the good memories…when the hubby’s. Go above and beyond!
WOW! That really is beautiful! I have one sitting on the floor in the spare room that could do with such a beautiful makeover!
Lovely! I would love to see the entire room!
Andie
Wow, what a great makeover! Love it!
Beautiful!!! Love the color too. I’m assuming it came w/all the crystals and such??? Or did you add those yourself afterward?
Beth- The crystals came with it. My hubby volunteered to take the crystals off for me. I asked him to take a before picture for me since there were so many different sizes of crystals. He forgot. It took me two days to get them back on correctly since there was 7 different sizes!
Wow! I am now on a mission for an ugly chandelier. Lol
This is fabulous! I have a question: Where did you find the crystal parts? I have one I am waiting to redo, and I would love to doll it up like this.
This one came with the crystals. I did do one for my daughters room that I needed extra crystals and I think I ordered them from crystals.com. I can’t promise that was the site but I think so.
It turned out just gorgeous!!!
And hawk eye that I am I’m also in love with the little birdcage in the background ( painted the same color I think? )
xox
Good eye Suzan! Yes that is exactly the same color. It used to be black but I wanted it work with the chandelier.
So what’s the name of the blue you used? It looks great with the sparkle of the crystals. Love it!
Thanks Misty! I used Tropical Oasis by Valspar.
Stunning transformation. I would not have let it go either!
Love it! And I love the color. I blogged about a lamp I did in a similar shade earlier this month and I’m working on chandelier right now! Your touch with the crystal bling is extraordinary.
I just checked out your lamp and it turned out great! Can’t want to see your chandelier!
Beautiful transformation, Shanna!!! Wow!
xoox laurie
This is beautiful!! Amazing transformation and I love the color! I found this over at Better After.
Judging from the before pics, I have to say that chandy was one of the–er, shall I say, —most interesting ones ever. It is beautiful now, an amazing makeover, love that color!
Oh so Fabulous!
This is really beautiful. I love it. I have a link party from Wednesdays through Sundays and would love to have you share this with everyone. It is Wednesday’s Adorned From Above Link Party. The link to the blog is http://www.adornedfromabove.com

Stopping by from Coastal Charm to see this lovely chandelier! I need to go back to the post to see how you made it over. Not sure I could sell it either. I am wanting one for our master bedroom makeover and trying to get ideas of what I can do with a craigslist find! Thanks for the inspiration!
Looks fab! I’m keeping my eye out for one to hang in my kitchen too! I love how it looks
Can one be in love with a chandelier? Yours is absolutely beautiful. Love the transformation, the color, the additions. Great job.
It’s very pretty…
I bet it looks great against the white ceiling….
I have a question: how did you attach all the crystals, and where did you get them?
Can’t blame you for keeping it!
It’s gorgeous…

Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Your chandelier is amazing! The turquoise paint brought out all of the yummy details in the piece that didn’t really show before. No wonder you didn’t want to sell it, it’s gorgeous!
Cheers, Andrea
This is gorgeous, just amazing what a little paint will do.
Anne
I love the transformation! You did a great job!
Great transformation and I love the blue! Thanks for linking to the Open House party.
LOVE your blue chandy! And it will look amazing with white cabinets.

This is really lovely – your husband is such a dear to get it up – I am sure with you cheering him on and demonstrating your appreciation for what he does for you – he’ll gladly take care of the cabinets etc…love it! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
Oh, may, this is beautiful. I love it.
Hi – found you via Liz Marie blog. I have a project on there as well (mini Mora Clock Re-Do).
I was given a similar chandelier (ugly brass) – and I am revamping it for a client. I am usually very good at primimg and painting anything – I sanded it and I primed it in oil vased primer but there are a fe spots where th paint is still showing through (just little specks but this will be seen mostly from underneath (it’s going in a stairway/hallway – above the stairs)so the specks are showing up on the bottom mostly.
I am going to treat them also with Faux Effects PrimeEtch, which I have had success with before – this etches the surface of anything and allows you to paint right over with no problem.
What else did you use to get the paint to stck?
Thanks…great look, great project!
Linda
OMG I love your chandy! That was such a brilliant idea and it turned out so beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
