Diamond Encrusted Candelabra.

 
No-one's mentioned candle sticks for some while, so.....

I've just bought this very kitsch large candelabra at a local boot sale. I'm still not sure quite what to think about it, but it will be wonderful somewhere, up at the Tobacco drying barn.

My 'design' ambition for the barn interior is for it to be very simple in a rustic/bucolic way, but with the occasional spectacular antique, sculpture, or 'object' thrown in for good measure. So this should be perfect for the kitchen, a bedside table, or even the 'bog'. 

I should add that our work, up at the barn, is not advancing at the rate we had hoped for. Our bloody JCB man (who is supposed to be laying down the concrete floor) sees time very differently to all other folk. He is very much a mañana man..... It could be years!

  3. Morning Cro - I rather like that - I can just see you lighting the candles on a summer evening - sipping your wine and eating sardines.

    1. Do you think it's camp enough for Liberace?

  5. I always imagined you to be the kind of guy who would have a classy lav :-)

  6. I approve - either tasteful or the exact opposite is my motto. I don't think it's a good idea to take naked flames into the lav, though.

  8. Wow, what a neat find! And I love the idea of mixing rustic with splashes of spectacular. After all, surprise is what makes life interesting.

  12. If you can't find a spot for it Cro, let me know, I have at least two places it would work beautifully!
