I've been stalking Craigslist for a couple months now looking for a crystal chandelier. I do a search in the morning while I drink my coffee. I might check in again midday and then at least one more time before I go to bed.
Last week one showed up. It had a bad picture and the description said something like, crystal chandelier. pretty good condition, missing one lightbulb.
When I went to pick it up the woman seemed shocked that I wanted it. I admit it didn't look very good, I don't think it had ever been cleaned. Needless to say, it was covered in dust and grime. It's marked made in Italy and has a nice aged look about it.
So I spent a little time cleaning it up.
It took the place of this DIY makeover chandelier I had in the sunroom.
Every sunroom/garden needs a little bling right?
What did I pay for this vintage crystal beauty you ask? $25!
Do you think it's too much?

I love seeing all your finds and this is an amazing one. 25 bucks is incredible.
Now where did you get those wicker chairs and can
And you find me some? And do you mind revealing the cost per chair for upholstery? Love the chairs and have two similar ones that could use a new look.
