After many years of living with mismatched/missing shades, I decided it was time the chandelier in our entrance hall got a makeover :) The shades suffered from years exposed to a dangerous mix of kids and bouncing balls in various sizes/hardnesses plus the odd school bag thrown ceilingwards ::) Now that they are all a little older, I'm hoping this will stay a while - if not, at least I can mend it ;D ;D

And I now have 9 leaves left to do :)

....and yes, when it is done I will need to clean that window! :D :D
Wow! That looks gorgeous. I would love something like that in the house!
Beautiful work Emma and yes I understand the dangerous mix of kids and bouncing balls although my youngest is now 30.
Once again, I am in awe Emma - it's fabulous :)
:). Pat, Jamie has already suggested I take the chain up a couple of notches... Clearly the mid- twenties ( or nearly!) is still too young to be trusted around a glass chandelier!
I wouldn't worry about the window, everyone'll be too distracted looking at that lovely chandelier to notice! ;D ;D ;D
That's just fabulous, Emma - love the "upgrade"!!
That's fantastic Emma, love the colours, I bet it looks grreat with the lights on :)
