Lauren of Bless’er House had one of those “I can totally make that…” moments when she saw a rope chandelier from Restoration Hardware. She picked up a cheapo iron chandy from Craigslist, added a hula hoop around it, and then got to wrapping with sisal rope. While Lauren admits this was a tedious project, she says it wasn’t hard. And I can certainly endure a little tedium if it means getting the look of a $1,595 chandelier for under $20. Who’s with me?!?
Lauren was inspired by the French Empire Rope Chandelier from Restoration Hardware.

That chandy is just awesome! What a beautiful job you did! Love it!
