Fantastic Find of the Week!

Yesterday I took a trip into Williamsburg, Brooklyn to the Meeker Flea Market for a little treasure hunting.  The space was great, it was a huge 2 story warehouse filled with tons of antiques.  I saw a lot of really awesome furniture and odd nick nacks, some things I thought were priced a little high for a flea, but I still had a great time looking around.

Ever since I started my bedroom make-over at the beginning of the year, I've wanted to do a DIY chandelier for my room.  I've looked everywhere for the perfect base but just haven't had any luck.  So yesterday my main mission was to find a base for a chandelier.  I was in the flea for not even 20 minutes when I saw the little beauty.  The old rusted five arm candelabra was sitting all by its lonesome on a table near the back of the room and just screamed potential!  With tax I only paid $15.24, what a steal!

So now that the hard part of finding the perfect base is over, now I'm onto other important questions like what color to paint it?  Silver or white?  What shape crystals do I want to use?  Where do I hang it?  Decisions...decisions...
