Thrift Store Chandelier

Hello Everyone, :D

I had done a project a month or so ago, and didn't post because I've been busy doing other work, but it seems I miss blogging too much.

But I found a chandelier in the thrift for $25.00. It was really dirty, and the candle covers were broken and so old, I really think this thing is older than 50 years! and was never cleaned in that time either! I liked it and bought it. Then I bought the candle cover replacements and some bulbs. I cleaned it up, painted it white of course :D and hung it. I'm still undecided whether or not I like it, but there it is hanging. It is also quite bright! much brighter than I'd prefer so I have to get 10watt bulbs instead of the 15watt I have in them.
I thought at the time that I would totally add strands of crystals and some prisms, I added only 6 for a touch, but out on that porch I have, I thought simplest was best. Yet it seems off somehow and I'm not sure what it is.

I don't know if I like it, oddly, I wonder what you think?


Here it is as it was found in the thrift:

As I was on the ground cleaning it, my housemate reminded me that I have a beautiful new potting bench ! LOL that I could work on instead of bending down and being hurt for days....what a thought! LOL I keep forgetting this because I've worked for years bending and squatting, still not used to this beauty full bench! :D
So I'm cleaning it here........

It has lots of great detail and a nice pendant tip.......

I love the arms!......

Didn't take pics of the painting process, I used Annie Sloan's Pure White,  nor changing out the candle covers, nor putting in the bulbs LOL, but here it is finished and hanging. I had to cover the awful box with a cotton napkin tied with tulle....... till I find another solution.

During the day.....

I kinda loved the other lamp I had there, but thought this chandy would be better, but not so sure now....

What do you think??

Thanks for listening!
