~Rusty Birdcage Chandelier~

Hello everyone.  I have been very absent lately due to life and family.  My oldest daughter finished her volleyball season yesterday which has kept us hopping, so I'm going to be optimistic and hope I will have a little nore time on my hands.  No winter sports, just my youngest daughter's dance classes two days a week.  I've also been busy getting things ready  for the window space at Monticello's where I will be for the month of November.  It's going to be beginning to look a lot like Christmas:-)  All these things in my life have kept me away from blogging as much or leaving comments, but I'm still here and still looking at all your wonderful blogs and hope to have more time in the future.

I know I already showed you a little bit of this area in my bedroom when I shared my lovely new bedspread, but I just added this wonderful rusty iron birdcage and stand and wanted to share it with you.  I got this years ago from my friends Mom and it is amazing!!!  I've always had it outside and in recent years  I used them seperately.  I looked out my window the other morning, saw it and a lightbulb went off.  So I hosed it down brought it inside and added this little chandelier.

What do you think?  Doesn't it look great?  I love when things come together like this.  Now hopefully the rest of the room can actually come together also.  Just the right amount of rustic charm.  Enjoy!  xoxo K.

  3. It's a winner.
    How lovely it must be in the room late at night. :D
    It sounds like blogdom is heading straight into the busy season full tilt.
    Every blog I stop by, I read that we are all so busy. I am determined to set aside time each day to just sip some coffee and reflect and breathe...

    Your window will look smashing of course!

  5. Hey Kathleen,

    Aren't those light bulb moments great? Funny how you can have something for years, and then in a moment, it all comes together in a different way. Love how you combined the pretty chandy with the rusty cage....very clever.

    A friend stopped by the other day, looked around my living room, and asked me if my mind ever stopped thinking of ways to change things. We just can't help it, right?

    Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

    Blessings,
    Susie

    OMG the 2,200 dollar price tag is insane and YOURS is better. You really hit this one out of the park. AWESOME
