The Phantom Of The Chandelier

Dear readers,

Chers lecteurs,

If you would like to remember a wonderful chandelier, please press play...

My mom, who's sitting next to me as I'm writing, is making fun of me for comparing my chandeliers to the Opera's one...

This is just a quick post because I really want to be part of Sarah's paint party! But I'm back from the house where the renovation is going slowly its way and I'm really tired. Pictures of the mess the house is in will be posted later...

Voici juste un petit article sur ce sur quoi je travaille pendant que les travaux dans la maison avancent... trop lentement à mon goût! Les dernières photos (elles font vraiment peur) seront bientôt sur le blog.

I already tried to paint some light fixtures a few weeks (maybe months... Time just flies) ago. Since then, I've painted some more. Last week, I thought it was time to try my hand at real chandeliers. Also I needed to participate in some way at my house renovation. So I brought everything I needed at my parents' and began painting.

I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures but a) the weather really hasn't been cooperating around here - b) my parents really don't understand why I take pictures of things all the time and why on earth I need to take pictures at different spots of the house/garden...

Je suis navrée pour la qualité des photos mais le soleil n'est pas toujours de la partie ces derniers jours.

The small three light chandelier was in my grandfather's shop and I hope it will be above my dining-room table one day...

Le petit chandelier trois branches était dans la boutique de mon grand-père et je voudrais le mettre au dessus de la table de la salle-à-manger.

The five light one was bought in an "attic-sale" and is older than the other: I can tell because it's very heavy!

Le grand chandelier cinq branches a été trouvé dans une brocante et vu son poids, je pense qu'il est plus ancien que l'autre!

This one is supposed to be in the living-room when the beams won't be green any longer!

Celui-ci devrait rejoindre le salon quand les poutres n'y seront plus vertes... Quoique, blanc sur vert, ça peut rendre pas mal... Et si je gardais les poutres vertes???

Both of these pieces are stunning and will be so beautiful in the home you are working on.

I am popping over from Sarah's great paint party. (Link #34)
