Make me a bird so I can fly far, far away.

Make me a bird so I can fly far, far away.  Some days this is how I feel, and today is one of those days.  Work, schmirk.  Worries, schmerries.  Blahh, Blahh.
Home is where I can relax and try to forget about that "stuff".  Nest (n): a place of retreat, rest, or lodging.  Nest = my home.  Back to a favorite hobby....creative projects.  Debating on whether to practice with an applique or ideas for murals in Baby Elsie's room.  I wanted to get a chandelier for her nursery as my gift.  As I started googling and searching for the perfect chandelier...I quickly realized that chandeliers aren't cheap.  I want the chipper chicken Fronk!  It's not as though these chandeliers have REAL crystals on them...  So I started googling and stubbled upon this....I'm lovin' it!  Both options will be super cute and save major bucks!  What do you think?!  Would this look cute in a nursery with an owl theme?  Or have I gone Cooky?!


Option 1-brass chandelier (find a reasonable offer on craigslist or thrift store)...

Spray paint it white....

Then add some crystal beads!  Awesome! 


Option 2: old chandelier....spray paint it white if not already...

Add some branches and shape them with the curves of the chandelier...

Then Spray paint WHITE!  A Nest Chandelier!  I'm still lovin' it!
