CHEAP TO CHIC: WOOD AND WINE BARREL CHANDELIERS!

So, way back in February, I took this picture above of a chandelier that was made out of a wine barrel. I liked the concept…but didn’t really know what to do with it. Thought if I had some big Gothic home with a big Gothic dining room that I might want to hang this HUGE fixture in the middle of said room for even more doom and gloom style drama.

Well low and behold as the months went on I kept seeing these so called “wine barrel” chandeliers all over the place. Seemed it was/is that wine barrel goth is de rigueur in home decor. I actually think the goal is to be rustic chic but to me these look like they belong in an old Gothic castle with a man named Igor being the person charged with lighting them each night.

Don’t get me wrong…I do like these chandeliers…the one above was huge and awe inspiring.

So, hence, today’s CHEAP TO CHIC…with a few wood beaded chandeliers thrown in for good measure (and because they do not look goth)!

    I have been considering this type of chandelier for our home in the Wine Country. I too discovered them in various antique/design stores there. Now they are everywhere. Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel etc. The best is Ballard I think. However, now I don’t want one anymore! Too predictable? I opted for a chandelier with real candles for now…..But, I do love the one you photographed. That one is killer! –Delores

    One of the most wonderful chandeliers I’ve seen, believe it or not, was at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) in NYC made from syringes, as crystals, and strungout (!) empty white capsules, as beads. It fooled the eye and delighted the mind!

    I ordered a bunch of the wine barrel staves from a company in Kentucky to create an ottoman design. They’re really inexpensive it you’re the DIY type.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
