Sooner or later, such a household moment comes, when at all costs, I want changes in the house, change something thoroughly. In a word, repairs make. But it often happens that there is not enough money for something thorough. But this does not matter, if you connect your head, then using my advice, you will acquire something completely new for the interior of your home or apartment and, and, and, not very expensive.
I’m not a chandelier manufacturing, I am also not a designer, I am the most ordinary man whose hands grow from the right place. Therefore, I will not impose anything for you. I just share my personal experience. Once I had inspiration, and I managed to create an original and useful thing, which I will tell you about.
I sometimes watch on TV various programs about repair in apartments. I myself live in a private house in rural areas. I watch these programs and I think that if I planned to do something in my house, as those designers offer on TV, it would probably have turned out, as they say, neither to the village or to the city. Yes, of course, it is there in that area for the people of that mentality and precisely for the apartment that all these decisions showed are suitable. But in my house surrounded by picturesque nature with vineyards and gardens, those designer projects are clearly not suitable.
I generally think so — each person himself is the best designer of his housing. And in any catalog, in any television program you will not find an option that would be perfect for your apartment or at home.
Here is my experience. Passing on local shops, I saw in the department of the plafones and chandeliers inexpensive plafones in the form of small balls. And then I had the idea to make the chandelier itself in the living room in the form of a grape hand. I thought that if several of these ceilings should be hung nearby at different heights, then they will resemble a bunch of grapes. I took it and bought five pieces.
Arriving home, he began to cereal, how to make leaves for these «berries». And invented. I cut them out of two pieces of tin. With the help of an iron rod and a hammer, even made veins like real leaves.
Then he cut out the antennae. This is not difficult, from a tin circle you need to cut a strip in a spiral, and these stripes themselves will curl like grapes. I painted green leaves and antennae.
Now there was a small thing left — to hang this whole “akiban” on the ceiling. I did so. From small rails made in the place where a chandelier should be located, a croak in the form of a square and screwed the leaves with antennae to it with screws. In the leaves, I pre -drilled the holes through which I handed the wires. I made holes exactly along the diameter of the wire, so that the knot on the back of the sheet is knitted.
Then attached light bulbs and plafones. Yes, and I connected it so that it could be separately lit by several plafones with bright lamps and a couple of dim — separately. And so it turned out a beautiful chandelier in the form of a grape hand.
