DIY Shabby Chic Chandelier

I've been having a lovely time transforming Lovebug's nursery into a "big girl" room over the past few weeks. Last week's project was a tea table for her room, and this week was a Chandelier! I found this fabulous brass chandelier at Re-Store in town for $55 and then walked on over to Lowes and purchased a $4 can of white mulit-purpose spray paint. When I got the chandelier home, I removed the bulbs and shades and sprayed the entire chandelier with the white spray paint. I opted not to primer the fixture first because I wanted a little bit of the brass to show a tiny bit in random spots. As the spray paint was drying, I wrapped the outside of the shades with pink organza ribbon and embellished it with pearls. I wrapped the chandelier arms with pearls and trimming and added pearls and artificial flowers to the base of the fixture for some dimension as well as some hanging crystals...just to fancy it up a bit! :)
