THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. The light fixtures in my house aren't bad. They could definitely be worse. I actually don't mind them too much. I've only switched one fixture because we needed a fan. I bought a beaded chandelier to put in my dining room, but decided that I might want to have it in my front room. Mainly because I didn't think the current one in my dining room is half bad. I did want to update it and give a new look though.
This was a super simple project. It took just a couple of minutes, and made me happy enough with my current chandelier to keep it in place....well, for the time being anyway :)
First step was to take off the shades. I then made sure that every light was a flame tipped candle light to give it a more authentic look.
Next, I strung some beads along a jute rope. I used these beads in 3/4 inch from Amazon. The size of the whole thing once finished was about 60"; 12" for each section.
I then looped it around the chandelier. I tied the ends together and trimmed the rope so you couldn't see it anymore. I tried the best that I could that each little 'loop' was the same height.
And that's it! I didn't do this, but you could go a step further and paint the chandelier to give it an even more drastic change.
I love simple projects like this that make you happy with what you have without having to go and buy something new :) ....even though I already did, ha! But that's now going in my front room as I mentioned above. Can't wait to get it in there! Pin for later:
