I stopped at my favorite Goodwill store the other day and found a cute, broken chandelier, and instantly knew what I wanted to do with it. I have been wanting an outdoor solar chandelier for a long time, I had already purchased the lights at the dollar store, but didn’t see a light that I thought would fit my style. Until now !!
I started working on it immediately, I stripped out the electrical wires and lights and cleaned up the metal and porcelain. I glued the tops of the solar lights to the fixtures and hung it from a branch over a table I have under a tree. I couldn’t wait until it turned dark !
In the dark..
This little broken ugly old chandelier has found new purpose and adds a romantic and beautiful addition to my eclectic backyard. This is one of my favorite repurpose projects and all for around 10 dollars. Did I mention, I love it !!

About Liz
I am a very casual woman, I live in sloppy shoes, wear jeans and loose fitting clothing almost every day. I work from home and occasionally visit clients at their homes. I share my home with a stubborn old cat named Peanut, an adorable little rescue puppy named Abigail and my better half Don.
I love my home, but better yet, I love what I have done around my home. I love to build things with wood, take someones throw aways and repurpose it into something I love. Finding furniture on the roadside is my biggest addiction, a little chalk paint and new knobs, win win!
My style is hard to explain, early recycle? lol, shabby country, shabby chic, early roadside? I love making STUFF, all stuff 🙂 I love the feeling of doing things myself. Want to know anything else? Feel free to ask… Sincerely, Liz

Such a great idea! I can’t wait to try this-thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks, I have been looking for a broken one for month 🙂 Make sure to post your pictures when you make one.
Love this idea!
Thank you, your hydrangea looks beautiful !!
Very ingenious and cute too!
Thank you, it was so much fun to make 🙂 I love your fresh veggies, is that cauliflower? I am growing it for the first time this year, and they said if I didn’t cover it, it would be purple. I like purple !!
Yes, it is cauliflower. The color is so beautiful and it tastes good too.
Thank you, I won’t cover it !! I can’t wait, will make a beautiful vegetable platter 🙂
This is a wonderful idea – thanks for sharing!
Thank you 🙂 Love your outfit that you posted today !!
Thank you.
What a great idea, it looks gorgeous outside.
Thank you, I love sitting on my back porch at night and looking at solar lights. It is a bit bent, but I don’t care 🙂
I wouldn’t either. I’m not much of a chandelier person but my dil loves them so I sent her the link so she can create her own oasis when she finds the perfect one.
