I never really liked our dining room chandelier. I don't remember putting a lot of thought into it's purchase. With that said, it was time for a change. It wasn't in the budget to purchase a new light so I embellished the one we had. I wanted something different...something shiny and elegant...something with a wow factor...all without spending a lot of money...hmmm...
1 paper clip is shiny and inexpensive.
14,700 paper clips are shiny, inexpensive* and elegant. *1 box of 1000 paper clips from Staples $3.86 X 15 boxes = $57.90:)
I'm now liking our dining room chandelier and wowed that it actually turned out better then I imagined (it doesn't always work that way:)

Wow ... where I see a clip for papers you see a 'new' chandelier- impressive. It has a past-future combo look. I'd like to see it in person.
