Recently I purchase one of the new battery powered LED lights for The Candy House. I thought it would be perfect for that house since the place where I will eventually keep the house is not close to any electrical plug-ins. Here is what the lamp looked like when I received it.
Nice, but not what I had in mind. I wanted to use this lamp in the bathroom of the dollhouse and I wanted it to be more girly than this. I painted the gold white and then I cut small paper petals to add to the globes. Still not girly enough, so I added some tiny crystal beads from my stash. I think it's perfect now- what do you think?
Here is the chandelier hanging in the half finished bathroom:
A shot with the flash off and the light on:
Last, here is my little helper very curious about what I am doing and wanting to help me take my pictures. Can't leave you without a little shot of cute, right? Who knew Miko would like miniatures too??

Ohhhh, great job on the chandy!!!!! I just put one in my petite pastry box and it isn't lighting . . . does tape wire go bad?!? LOL
It works as I tested it so I'm thinking it's the tape wire . . .
I want one of those in my house!
Marvelous changes! It looks wonderful!
Super cute! I haven't worked on my dollhouse in years, but you make me want to get it out and give it a redo.
I love the way you made that chandelier over. It looks so much better! I love those new battery operated lights. Your new custom is adorable!!

Perfect. Will you come to decorate my real house?
Thank you for this, Kim! Since I don't want to deal with tape wire, etc. I was thinking of trying one of those lights. Now that I see what you've done, I think I'll go ahead with that and be brave & bash away!

The chandelier is awsome! Well done!
Neomi
That is so cute! I want one full size please!
Kim, your chandelier takes my breath away! It's a masterpiece!! I love it, love it, love it!!! You are so very, very creative. And, you're so lucky to have a little Miko. I'm sending him kisses right between the eyes.
What a beautiful makeover, Kim. The chandelier looks so cute in there, especially when you turn the light on. How cool!
I think you did an absolutely fabulous job. I like it so much better after your work. You have made an otherwise run of the mill chandelier fit and charm your bathroom. Well done, Kim :)
Oh Kim! I love it! It's the same one I have, too. You've totally inspired me.
Hugs,
Lainie
Kim that is just adorable! Thanks so much for the reminder that we don't have to settle for what's out there ;-)
