Maybe I was drinking from a decanter when I thought of this…or maybe I was thinking of my other lights from junk. Whatever I was thinking…this is what happens when you mix stuff you have sitting around and a swag light kit.
Before I start….let me tell you of an awesome venue that I will be sharing this on. Hometalk….have you heard of it? If you haven’t….you need to click on that link…and go check them out! Hometalk is a wonderful website where you can find out, anything you need to know…about any project, having to do with home or garden. If it isn’t posted…you can post a question regarding it! Hometalk has experts, and professionals posting daily. Hometalk isn’t just for the pros though….you can post your own projects. You can post them to show them off…or get advice on making them better. You don’t have to have a website to post either. They have a facebook page also…..how awesome! Seriously….go check them out!
If you read my posts often, or really, at all…you know how deep my love for a chandelier runs. Now, in all seriousness….I didn’t just have these darling little decanters sitting around, and I very rarely drink…..and I do NOT suggest drinking and wiring! The idea for this chandelier came a LONG time ago…and I’ve had it rolling around in my head for quiet some time….waiting to find the three (was going to be five) decanters to use.
My regular readers know that I recently had surgery on my spine (neck) and I am limited to my activities right now….so it seemed like a good time to do a little light project…no pun intended! Even this proved to make my neck a bit sore…so my activities may be more limited than even I suspected. At any rate…..here’s my project in all her glory.
Hopefully I’ll be back to fun furniture projects soon…I REALLY miss my tools and paintbrush.
What have you been doing this week? What project are you getting under your fingernails? Wouldn’t this light just be adorable in a bar room, man cave, or game room? I think even on a back porch or patio!
Love Y’all!
Lovely!
Thanks so much!
Great post

Hi! beautiful work… how did you cut the bottoms off from the decanters? Maybe a tutorial will follow? Feel better soon…
Yes…I was thinking today that I might do a tutorial on this. I used a wet saw to cut the bottoms off. Thanks for stopping in Jan! 😀
I love it! You’re so creative!

Thanks Sharon…Those are high marks coming from you!
Wow, it’s beautiful! I can even see this in my dining room, it’s gorgeous, Tammy!
Sorry to hear about your surgery, hope you mend quickly…or as quickly as you can with back/neck surgery.
Debbie 🙂

I can see that I’m going to need to do a tutorial. This has been a really popular post. I think I’m just going to amend this post though….not sure yet…but there’s one in the near future…one way or the other! Thanks for stopping by!
this is the first time I ever read anything from you and I may have been laughing hysterically. I have had 4 back surgeries so I know how you’re feeling, kinda like a truck ran you over. I’m so mad I just gave a valuable decanter a way to this man the drink all the time. now I want it back where did you find the decanters? I just wanted to say I really enjoy what you have to say and I’ll be back. thank you for posting this on my site today so I can post it on to do it yourself
Thanks Karen. I found my decanters at garage sales and thrift stores. Feel free to share anything from my site with links back to the pages! I love that you want to share my things! Thanks so much. I can’t even imagine what four surgeries on your back must feel like…the one I’ve had is just crazy tiring….wow! Thanks for stopping by!
