What do you get when you combine 80 light bulbs, a few pieces of lumber, wiring, and lots of patience? Well, I’m not sure what you or I would get, but Amanda (and her husband) of Love & Renovations created this unbelievably amazing DIY 80-bulb dining room chandelier.
Now of course, not all 80 light bulbs are wired for electricity. Only eight of the 80 actually work. The rest are simply there to create a spectacular display of sparkly glass and linear wiring.
Get the details of this project over at Love & Renovations.

July 16, 2012 at 7:26 pmThat is spectacular!! Glad only 8 bulbs are lit or we’d go blind!! Heehee! I’ll go check it out. But, first…it looks like you’ve been busy over the weekend having a little fun polishing and fluffing your site. It’s so much more bright and airy. I love it!!!!!
Regarding the bare bulb look. I love those Edison-style bulbs. Do you know if they are glarey and hard on the eyes. A soft white bulb seems the best way to go….but it surely lacks the panache’ of an Edison bulb.
