Chandelier from a Table Lamp
I wanted a chandelier over my diningroom table, but couldn't find any i liked enough for the price so I decided to hang a table lamp upside down over the table. Found this one at the thrift store and bought it for five bucks. It's glass hand blown into a wire cage with three little balls for feet that could be unscrewed off, which is how someone attached it to the ceiling. People don't even realize it's a table lamp until I tell them! I have experimented with many shades for many different looks and it is one of my prime spots for hanging Christmas ornaments.

That's GREAT and inventive!

P.S. I believe it's either Italian or Mexican because of the design, blown glass, metal "cage" AND shape of the shade. Is the shade glass, too? It may be over 100 yrs. old. Old lamps are VERY much in demand these days. Check eBay . : )

The lamp seems heavy, it would be lovely if you shared with us how do you secure the lamp to the ceiling.(Pardon my ignorance)
