Description: We had an existing chandelier in our dining room that was ugly, so we stripped it down to the bulbs (removed the frame and some hanging glass).
Not wanting to deal with doing electrical work covering it up was the best - and cheapest - solution.
The Jara was the only shade that would fit over the existing chandelier. Here's what we did:
1) Taped the edges of the lamp shade
2) Spray painted the inside gold (comes white)
3) Used hacksaw to saw off the top of the lampshade frame so it could be slid over the chandelier.
4) Voila!

If you sawed off the top of the frame, how does the lampshade stay on?
ReplyDeleteThey probably just used the Wingardium Leviosa spell...
DeleteHehehe this made me chuckle. Don't forget it's Levy-ohh-sah not levi-oh-sa!
DeleteThis is a great look!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - the existing chandelier had a frame, like spokes on a bicycle wheel, so the frame is resting on them. It just happens to be about the right size. Good question! --Meghan
