One of my latest projects for HGTV was to create a chandelier to be hung outdoors. When I was offered the assignment, it made me a little nervous because I rarely “build” things. I knew it would be a bit of a challenge since it was outside my norm of styling parties and dessert tables, but I also thought it would be quite fun to venture around the hardware store and come up with some ideas. I *almost* called in help from my fabulous friend, Shelley from The House of Smiths (who seems to be holding a tool at least once a week on her blog), but I decided to go for it on my own. After a few attempted chandelier ideas and many trips to Home Depot, I came up with something super simple, yet super cute!

It turned out awesome!
Really creative!
Thank you, Nicole!
Love this Kim….really nice job. I could also see coffee beans used for the filler.
Also, love the new splash page on your web site…..very cool!
Thank you, Tina! It was such a fun project to work on. So out of my norm! And of course YOU noticed the splash page!! Isn’t it fun?!
Yes, very fun indeed….LOVE IT!!!
Marvelous! Have you caught the building bug yet? It’s really not as hard as it seems at first, and it’s so much fun to be able to create the ideas that you have that you just can’t buy!
Cute!! You could even change the “filler” to suit the seasons!
I love it!
Egads! This is soo cute!
Thanks so much for the how-to, this is perfect…have to see what I can do to make one of these before summer’s completely over.
Love your work!
Kit

Le deceda a Kamilo Klauss que yo pienso que para los de la rvsteia SoHo lo de Marbelle es una burla, Se aprovechan de ella, hacen mofa de ella. No se si la fotografiada lo tenga claro y no le importe o crea que de verdad le este1n dando oportunidad de entrar a su elite. Lo veo como la nif1a pobre de las novelas que se casa por amor con un joven millonario y la suegra la acepta por obligacif3n pero a sus espaldas solo habla bestialidades de la pobre .Prefiero la autenticidad de Marbelle a la falsedad de las modelitos perfectas que aparecen en la rvsteia. Lo malo es que la mayoreda de los hombres del paeds esperan tener una novia como la modelo de la me1s reciente edicif3n de Soho y cada mes, entonces, cambian de pare1metro.
