Hallway Chandelier -

Don't you just love the look of a chandelier.  As you may have seen in one of my previous posts in re-decorating the laundry room, I wanted to get rid of the "utilitarian" light fixture in that room and replace it with a fancy chandelier!  Needless to say my husband & I went "hunting" (otherwise known as thrift shopping) because I refuse to pay full price for anything and new things are so overly mass produced that they aren't original.  So off to the flea market and home again with a beautiful chandelier for my now known as "formal laundry room".  Well of course now I have to replace all the "utilitarian" light fixtures in the house.  Out hunting this past Thursday, I found a quaint chandelier with a lot of potential, 3 working bulbs and had never been installed!  Needless to say the price of $6.99 sold me on it!  Strapped it to the back of my motorcycle and home I came!  Saturday morning my husband hung it for me.... here are the before and after pics.

This is the utilitarian light fixture - they were all through the house when we first purchased it...

Didn't realize I captured a picture of the toilet in this picture...

Close up of the price tag - the bulbs are worth more than that....

 And now it is hung....

Amazing how a small thing like a little chandelier - a $6.99 chandelier - can change the look of any area.  Here is a picture of the chandelier we hung in our formal laundry room!
