Friday, August 8, 2014: Sparkly Light for the Utility Room

This is what happens when Hubby is gone too much.  I get bored.  I spend WAY too much time on pintrest after Babygirl goes to bed.  I get ideas.  I start thinking "In my quest to make the utility room a more pleasant room that I don't mind spending time in, rather than a boring room I hate, wouldn't it be fun to put a sparkly chandelier in there?"

Never mind that I put this light fixture in there not *that* long ago...  Hubby probably wouldn't be too happy if I said I wanted a new one because I now have a slightly different vision for the room...

Kind of boring, right?  But it does give really good light for the room.

So I give up on the idea.  For a few hours anyway.  Then I remember that I still have a bunch of chandelier crystals from our wedding.

I've used a few for various craft projects, made a bracelet out of some, and used some in Babygirl's room, but I still have a whole bunch.  Maybe I could do something with them to make the light sparkly...  Plus I already have them so it wouldn't cost anything!

So, at 11:30 at night (hey, I need to do things when I remember!) I made a sparkly light.  I found some flexible wire in the tool bin, wrapped it around the bar that holds the lights and hung the crystals on it!  It only took about ten minutes, and it was free!  And I still have more crystals!  (Wonder what else I'm going to do with them...)

Hooray for sparkles!
