Recycled Chandeliers

I have been so naughty about writing and visiting all your fabulous wonderful blogs. My past week has been a tornado of work, and I think it might be getting back to its usual pace now!!! I so apologize for the absence and to show my appreciation, I'll be giving away a prize this weekend! So be on the lookout tomorrow...

Ever since I spyed this trash chandelier in the Two's Company Dallas showroom this past January, I've been seeing them everywhere.

I don't know if it's a trend or I'm just now noticing these beautiful reclaimed art pieces. Discarded pieces of "trash" can really be so intriguing!

  2. Pretty amazing and extremely clever. Did you see the anthropologie bottle art piece that Terri posted about. I have a thing for bottles and just did a draft on a post about bottles so this was really interesting to me. Clever, clever people,Kathysue
