Our $5 solid brass chandy has been put to good use. We had decided to install a chandelier that we had. It was used in our rock house until we got a different chandy. This Williamsburg chandy went out to the garage for a few years. We moved in 2017 and the chandy came with us.
This chandelier has a history with us when we bought it about 9 years ago for $5. Our thrifty buy was in pieces when we spied it lying in some snow in the yard of a thrift shop. We brought her HOME and my dear talented HUBBY cleaned her up and assembled her. I was thrilled to have her then and I'm thrilled to have her hanging in our new house. Really thrilled.

After we moved to this present location, we had a new ceiling put in the living room, Hubby asked that a hole be made so a light could be hung. It paid off. We have been living with a hole in the ceiling. Started looking at lights. Time flew by and here we are. With this horribly cold weather, our forgotten chandy went up instead of purchasing a different one.
A medallion was painted 3 coats of Benjamin Moore Cotton Ball paint, then installed. Chandy went up next. We are so pleased to have more light in the room! It makes me really happy to look up at the light and marvel.
Let there be light and there was,
