Chandelier made with DENTAL FLOSS!

Here it is!!! Some quick pictures taken of the chandelier we made using beads and dental floss (YES!, dental floss). Who says we cannot create WOW with a budget? NOT my team at Ada's Interior Design.

Project's mission: creating a HUGE SPLASH of style from a plain (yaaaawwnn) ceiling fixture. The original light fixture was dingy looking with a simple semi-frosted round 70s looking cover. Below are some picture of our E & E design (E & E = Elegant & Economical) installed with the help of my wonderful design assistant Albina (thank you Albina!!!). Even the CFO of my company got involved with this fun project measuring and cutting the dental floss for me (thank you Patrick!!!).

Here's the shopping list's total cost for this elegant transformation:

beads   $15.90

hooks = $6.54

dental floss = $1.99

paint = $0.00 (we already had left over paint - yeah!!)

____________________

total = $24.43 (plus $5.00 shipping cost for the beads)

I strongly believe that we do not need to spend a lot of get a lot of COMFORT ... ELEGANCE ... LUXURY ... within our home. Case in point, the total material cost for this project was only $24.43. The 1st step in transforming your home to fulfill your desires is staying away from statements of "one day I will ..." or "some day I will ....", but taking action NOW! Make a commitment to treat yourself GREAT! What can you do TODAY to start living GREAT?
