Crystal Chandeliers Shabby Romantic Kitchen

April 16, 2014

These crystal chandeliers look amazing in my shabby romantic kitchen.

Quite a change isn’t it!

As I said in my previous post, this was allot of work putting them together.

Yes those chandeliers had to be put together first and then hung.

Doing the electrical part and hanging them was very easy,but putting them together was not.

I placed the crystals on these a little different than I did when I revealed the first one HERE.

This is what my kitchen looked before.

And here is another look at the after.

double kitchen chandelier

When we first moved here we had very cheap light fixtures,so I replaced them with lights I found at thrift shops.

They were affordable and were much nicer than what we had.

I waited until I found what I wanted and could afford them.

These were not expensive at all ,and as I said I sold somethings to purchase them.

Sometimes it is worth being patient to get what you really want.

We have been here for 8 years and finally I have what I wanted.

It’s funny our dining room chandelier now looks so wimpy compared to these.

But I am not sure what I want , so I will wait until I decide what I want save up and purchase one.

This is what they look like all it up.

I don’t like taking photos with the lights on because you see lots of yellow and shadows,but you can see how they really shine.

The light above my ladder almost looks like it’s handing from my ladder.

It’s so nice to have a lighter and brighter kitchen too.

Those previous lights did not bring much light into our kitchen.

********************************************

I am still not finished with my beadboard wall paper.

I stopped because I am not happy with that paper at all.

It seems to tear very easily, and I don’t have the time to take it off and re-apply right now there is too much going on.

I am thinking of possibly altering it somehow with paint to give it a distressed look that way if it does rip a bit it won’t look so bad.

I will keep you posted.

Have any of you that used this paper had a problem with it?

I barely rub on it and it seems to rip so easily.

    They look beautiful Anne. All 3 of them.
    I bought the bead board wall paper from Lowe’s , but, I got the vinyl kind. It was more expensive granted, but very durable. I coexisted with 2 very boisterous lads and survived. I am in the process of getting more for this home and doing some th8ngs with it in my sun room….

    Oh………I just love all of your pretty chandeliers in the kitchen! That really stepped it up a notch. I especially like how the one over your sink is different than the other two. And, I don’t think you really need that ladder hanging across the sink anymore. I think that amazing new light fixture should hang there all by itself so it commands more attention. I think it’s my fave! That’s just my suggestion. Hope you don’t mind.

    They are beautiful. Anne! I would love to get two chandeliers in our kitchen. I have gotten small chandeliers before for other rooms that had to be put together and that was a pain. I can imagine how much longer it took to do bigger ones like these. Definitely worth it in the end though!

    I would throw that beadboard wallpaper away and get some beadboard paneling at Home Depot- It is only $20. for a 4 ft. by 8 ft. sheet and can be cut to use for backsplash or wainscoating. We have wainscoated two bathrooms with it and it looks great and is washable! Love your kitchen, by the way. I love how your white cabinetry matches your white appliances so well! Do you remember the shade/brand of white paint?

      LOL Vicki, well it’s not that easy.First off my island is pretty cheap.As in the sides are cardboard quality.Yeah it’s not even wood. So I can’t nail anything into the surrounding area of my island.That’s why I chose to use wallpaper. It was a great solution for what I have.I would not want to just glue beadboard.I painted my cabinets using Pure White by Annie Sloan.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
