Upcycle a Chandelier Into an Outdoor Candelabra...

I picked up this vintage chandelier style light fitting at the thrift store. I knew straight away that I wanted to up-cycle it into a candelabra for the back porch.
The patina is stunning.


I know brass and copper is quite popular in home décor right now and I'm probably going to cop a bit of abuse when I tell ya all


I actually bought matt black spray paint to paint it black!


When nitty came to gritty....I just could not do it!


I even posted a 'Shall I - shan't I' pic for debate on Hometalk...


With the consensus of the votes


to 'leave it be'.


Paint free...in it's original fabulousness...


And so I did!
The faulty wiring was cut out...
The light-bulb fitting removed so a candle would fit in its place...
The ceiling rose nailed up...and the chandelier hung.
Long slim candles were fitted.
I'm so glad I decided not to paint it!!!
Because it just looks stunning!
I'm in love with candles....


And upcycled chandeliers made into an outdoor candelabras.
