I love chandeliers. Hubby thinks they are girly and isn’t thrilled with the one I recently snagged from Craigslist. However, if I had my way, I would put chandeliers everywhere. Well….actually some might say that I have already had my way. We have a lot of chandeliers going on around here. (Side note: As I was bundling up my boys to buy the Craigslist chandelier, my 2 yr old said, “Mommy, we already have chandeliers! We don’t need anymore.” Hmmm. I think he takes after his father.) Anyhow, in case you share in my chandy love, I’ve done some homework for you. Here are some cheap guys:
Ikea $39.99
Walmart $62.88
Overstock.com $33.99
And here are some not so cheap guys:
Okay, so below is a picture of my $10 Craigslist chandelier. And with a bottle of spray paint and some bling (which I’m still waiting to find for cheap, cheap, cheap) I hope to create it into…..
THIS! The Pottery Barn Celeste Chandelier $249.00. Stay tuned….

I LOVE this idea. I am currently in the process of making my own PB re-creation by using the Walmart chandelier as my base (removing its current crystal overload) and purchasing a few of the wired crystals on saveoncrafts.com. In looking at the options on this site, I can’t figure out which ones you were referring to for $8.99. I couldn’t find any that are brown like the PB one – they all seem to be silver or gold. Suggestions? Thanks!

Those mini-shades also make a world of difference on a chandelier. It just makes it more homey.

I love several of these! I am also a fan of chandeliers, although I don't own any.
Your post reminds me of one I wrote the a day or two ago. I found these two things that are technically not chandeliers, but both would be good in a teenage girl's bedroom to give the effect.

I've been on the lookout for a girly chandy, and I LOVE the one from IKEA.
It would be PERFECT in my baby girl's closet. Wouldn't it be such fun to hang a chandy in a girl's closet?
Thanks for sharing!

Ooh la la…I have a thing for chandeliers too (and pillows…and curtains…and…:) ). I actually bought the Ikea one over the summer. Seriously…at $35 how can you go wrong?

I've been eyeing that PB Camilla forever it seems. But now I'm inspired to create it myself. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

I tend to like the plain jane chandys but I do love the pottery barn one! You could put that in a messy toy filled bathroom and it'd still look elegant! 🙂
Not that I've seen any messy bathrooms or live with one day by day.

These are all amazing – I might give my first born for the PB Chandy – it's SO pretty. Ok maybe not but it would be a tough toss up if the little one gave me any lip 😉

There's a little shop I like to look around in and they have some beautiful mini-chandeliers. I saw a pink and clear crystal white one that I love but it's $185.00. Too rich for me, so I will probably look to do one on the cheap myself. I could probably add pink crystals to the Ikea one.
