Hello all!

We bought a new house last year and I finally have a space that I can devote just to me...my very own French Boudoir !!! It’s basically an addition off of my bedroom and is pretty much a blank slate! My plans for this room are lofty so I'll be doing a little at a time until I can do a final REVEAL! I'm starting from the ceiling down.. so this first project is to set my boudoir apart from the rest of the room! icon

These goodwill goodies are just what I was looking for...

As soon as I saw this hideous beast of a candle holder at our local Goodwill, I knew exactly where it would go! On this same trip, I also found 2 really pretty corbels ( I forgot to take a picture of them before I mounted them icon

but you'll see them soon !

Using white chalk paint ( not sure which brand) I painted the entire piece and flipped it upside down...it's so much prettier now...

I then took some really long screws and had my hubby predrill the holes into the candle holder. Then I centered and screwed the whole thing onto the beam separating our room and the boudoir... a few swipes of white paint to cover the nail heads... easy peasy... icon

Here is a picture of the beam... IGNORE THE DUST ON THE FAN BLADE!!! icon

Here is a shot of all three pieces mounted to the beam.. ( the corbels were already painted white and had sawtooth hookers on the back). This was looking good so far but I wanted a little bit more GLAM...

Here came the fun part! I ordered some really pretty crystal chain from Amazon. It's the type used commonly for chandeliers... I cut the length into four equal sections and hotglued/draped them from the corbel on the left to the candle holder and then again to the other side! Then I separated two chain sections into three crystal lengths and added two crystal drops from a previous project and VOILA! I'm in love with it !! icon

Here's another shot that I hope will give you an idea of how pretty it came out! My next step in my boudoir make over will be my ceiling.. with a fabulous medallion and the crystal chandelier (I'm hoping hubby will get me for Christmas ! ) LOL Hope you enjoyed and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy new year ! icon
