FIREPIT SCREEN CHANDELIER

Rescued firepit screen re-purposed into a candlelight chandelier.

This is what the firepit screen used to cover but the screen succumbed to the elements, rusted away, and was destined for junk oblivion. Not here, though!

Unable to part with anything, I removed the rusted screening, added old chain, a piece of round glass, and various candles in flower vases and votives.

This can be used outdoors and the candlelight will be warmly enjoyed and protected from breezes. Indoors, as well, where candlelight is always an elegant surprise.

Whats neat about the round glass base for the candles is that the light casts through it for more downward illumination and can be seen as you are looking up from your table.
ENJOY.

What do you do with a rusted out firepit spark screen? Simple. You remove the decrepid screen, invert the screen frame, add a tempered piece of glass, some old chain, and candles for your unique candlelight chandelier!

Loved the army cot all decked out in beautiful fabrics.

I am a non-seamstress.....I did a similar thing in one of my guests room..I took two cots...layered beautiful old blankets, western sheets, lodge pillows, fishing camp decor on walls....hung a fishing rod above the window.....added an old screendoor to the room (on outside doorframe) the original door gives privacy when needed...put an old sewing machine frame topped with an old board between the beds for a side tabe.....topped it with a scrap of fringed shirt.

I hung twin mosquito netting above each bed....it looks like an old fishing camp....

Sorry my camera is out of memory...will post pictures later. Posted: 10:20 am on July 16th
