To Paint, or Not To Paint....

Hey everyone, I know this is going to freak some of you out....so I apologize in advance. I have this vintage chandelier I picked up on Ebay for under $100 many years ago. I can't even remember the exact price, I just know that I never went over $100.


I have the glass cylinders...somewhere, but one of the glass cups (the bottom piece) is gone.


It's a yellow Tole Chandelier. Here are two very similar one's on 1st Dibs.

This one is a rectangular shape and it's $1,650.


This one is square and it's $3,800.


Someone go get this one!!


Back to my story, you know where this is headed.....should I paint it?
White & gold....maybe?

source?

Black?

Navy & gold?

I know that some of you will have strong opinions about this and I could have kept it off my blog....

but I really want to know what you think. You have never given me bad advice!

Tell me...what should I do?

Ebay & Other Addictions

Hello, I'm Linda...and I am an ebay addict. Remember the last ebay purchase I told you about? And, I still have not decided on what to do with these, either. Well, yesterday, while sitting in my car waiting for school pick-up (the most dangerous time in my day) I used my ebay app (I know, it's just like my CL app) to buy these


24 pieces of vintage white and brass hardware; 16 (the exact amount I need for my nightstands) of the straight ones on the left, 6 of the curved ones and 2 of the huge ones on the right. They are "never used" but from the 70's...hence the plastic wrap. If you look closely, you can see that they are a tad dinged.

As long as I am coming clean, I should tell you that I also have an Etsy app. There, now you know how I spend my time sitting in the car. OK, just one more addiction confession.......I can't stop drinking these




The Dunkin Donuts Men In Black Iced Coffee. What's your addiction?
