My $15 Crystal Chandelier

So since everyone is moving from farmhouse shabby-chic to farmhouse industrial, please feel free to pass on your glamourous crystal chandy’s this-a-way because I still heart them!  
I heart them in the bedroom…

And in the powder room…
…and in the living room…
…and of COURSE the dining room…

…and even in the kitchen!

Oh, and one more living room, because this pic is so pretty!

And I think a crystal chandy would be perfect in my new craft room, don’t you?  Thank you Craigslist!!! So worth the $15 I shelled out for you and all of your drippy, crystal loveliness!
Yes, there is some gold brassiness to contend with here, but for $15?  I’ll live with it.  Even the arms are glass!
So, if you have any other chandeliers you want to give to me, I will take them.  I still have closets that could use some swagger!

  1. That is GORGEOUS!!! Also loving your ladder back rocker! I am a sucker for ladder back. Can not wait to see your lighting redo.

  2. Everyone's moving on? I hadn't even moved in. hehe What a great buy for $15! 🙂

  3. Amazing find, Beth, as always! I love that kitchen with the double chandies. So gorgeous!!

  4. Oh what beautiful Chandys! I love them all! I wish I could find some like those on Craigslist. Thank you for sharing!

  5. oooh I LOVE chandys still too! They add just the right touch I think! I have been scouring all over for "the ONE" for my daughter's room. Lovin your style!

  7. I only have bitter remarks to make so I'll keep them to myself. 🙂

    Though I can say I love me some craig.

    Good catch!

  10. What a great find!

    I love living in TX but I curse the fact that I can't have sparkly chandys in every room because ceiling fans are a MUST here, even with central air! I will score some for the bathroom though. We don't need the fan in their! :o)

  14. I love them too! I've been looking on CL for about 3 months for something similar to that to put in the corner of my master bedroom. Great find you got there! Do you have plans to get rid of the gold and spruce up the candlestick part? Spraypaint maybe?

  16. Great find and only $15! Love Craig's List 🙂
    I am with you and still loving the shabby chic look and crystal chandy!

  17. I love chandelliers as well even though I dont have any. My favorite place for them is in the powder room because it is so elegant looking and you dont expect it there.

    I love your new chandy!! How fun!

  18. What a deal! I still love anything sparklie and blingie too…if those words count.

  20. Just use "Rub and Buff" on the brass you can reach and not worry about the brass colored wiring. I've even used a small artist brush to get in tight places.
    This is such a SCORE!! Lucky you!

  21. So pretty! And for $15 stinkin' smackaroos!? I'm jealous! Wonder what it'd look like if you painted the exposed brass but left the brass inside the glass tubes?? hmmmm… I love it! Great find – and I'm still jealous. 🙂

  22. What a great buy, Beth! I bet you're going to do something lovely with it.

    That first picture is gorgeous. Sigh. I'd love a brick wall.

  23. huge score.

    who cares about the brassy-ness for $15 bucks. good.for.you.

  25. there are many things you can buy to change that brass, check it out. very cute though and you will make it fabulous!

  26. Hey Beth! I'm just getting a box with a red X in the second and third picture spots.

    Love the ones you've shown. I'd love to get something like this. I have no idea where I'd put it at the moment, but I want one! Love the kitchen with the chandy's over the island. You got a great deal ~ I think everyone will be too busy looking at all its crystalness to notice the brass!
