In visiting a favourite haunt of *Steve's* and a secret haunt of mine (the Re-Use Centre), we were able to get this hard-wired chandelier that had been ripped out of someone's ceiling in desperate frustration for all of $5.
When it came into the house, *Steve* immediately took it out to the garage, hung it upside down and gutted it of electrical remains. Then he followed up with a coat of black matte Tremclad spray paint. Hey, That is my hairdryer!!!
When all was done, we plopped in 5 tea lights (which fit perfectly) and added some gems from IKEA. The bottom plus-shaped jewel? Well, in 1985 those were dangling from my ears. Yearbook anyone? It's been 20 years since I danced in that high school gym at my "senior prom".
