Happy Monday!! I am so excited to be here today. There is so much going on with the Holidays coming up and decorating, wrapping presents, family visiting, etc… BUT, I am happy to be sharing my $8 Thrifted Chandy Makeover today! Seriously, I might even be a LITTLE obsessed with this!!
So, here is the story and the makeover. You will be amazed at this transformation! I know, I was…
One day out thrifting, I found these 2 beauties. They were each $8 a piece. Not too shabby, right?? With a little cleaning and some creativity they would be beautiful.
I had BIG plans for the 80s chandy. She was going to be amazing when I was done…
After cleaning the chandy, she needed to be rid of all her electrical parts and wiring.
After a few snips here and there, She was ready to be painted.
Yep, I used a flat paint and hand brushed every part of this beauty. I wanted a chunky, layered look for the paint. I wanted every part of the 80s gone from her.
Isn’t she looking fabulous so far??
I found 3 votive cups at Dollar Tree. They were the perfect size to fit atop the chandy. Using 9001 I affixed the votive cups to the base of each cup. I followed the directions on the tube and let it set for 24 hrs.
Oh my! I am LOVING this!!
While shopping at Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby I found just the right bling for her. Each one I chose to use is a Christmas ornament. Perfect timing to to be blinging up a chandelier, right??
Her she is in all her glory. Looking chippy, glamorous as a chandy should.
Thanks to Hubby for hanging this beauty right above our thrifted table. I literally was jumping up and down!
I love the look this $8 thrifted chandy brings to our home.
And, you will also see the thrifted $8 mirror hanging right near the “new” chandelier. Right where she belongs, too.
I have grown to really enjoy thrifting. Do you shop at thrift stores? What are some beauties you have transformed? I would love to read about them and see them!

Make it a thrifted Tuesday!!
