No wiring required!

Everybody knows that having a light fixture above dining/breakfast area designate space and create welcoming atmosphere. But what if we don't want to mess with electric wiring? In this particular case it would cost a lot because of another apartment above this unit. Solution was found. Candelabra is so romantic.

That particular candelabra was in my closet for 3-4 years before I finally find a home for it. I bought it in IKEA. They don't have this model which is quite elegant now but do some other models.

You can also use antique chandelier and take out wires and insert candles in to the light bulb sockets.

*Just remember not to leave candles unattended.

Very very cute idea. I will share this with the other agents in my office at our weekly meeting. I really love look and the low cost compared to relocating wiring. This is such a great idea. Any others to share? I wish there were more ways to solve these type of problems that save this much money! Thanks so much!

This is so cool. I love it! I am hooked and now a subscriber to your blog. You have really great tips and ideas especially the huge money saving ideas like these electrical solutions. Many home staging blogs have great decorating ideas, but this is something new that I have not seen before.

this is great idea and I will be doing this very idea at a home. It is a great idea to use this also in a bathroom, or small area that you want to emphasize a table or sitting area...

Karen, when are you coming over?

Connie, I thought about patio but was afraid that the wind will blow off candles.

Mary Lou, in the master bath above the tub would be very cool. Thanks again for compliments.

Liz, unfortunately they don't have this item any more. I wish they would. But I was searching my local antique stores and find very nice pieces their. You cam also try Wrought Iron manufactures for high end clients as well.
