Nothing Important, just this and that........

When I brought the dining room chandelier home, I realized the ceiling canopy was missing ~ perhaps part of the reason for the big sale reduction. Not wanting to pay $50.00 for the solid brass one offered at a fancy lamp shop, I purchased this plain metal one at Home Depot for just $4.99. It was mostly black, but dry-brushed with antique gold and bronze metallic paints, after an hour in the sun, it dried to a lovely finish which matches the chandelier really well. I think it could almost pass for a French antique, don't you?
