Easy Outdoor Chandelier

Yes, easiest outdoor chandelier....ever!
A wire birdcage becomes the perfect outdoor chandelier for my back deck.
It hangs in my redbud tree that grows up through my deck.
Chippy birdcage and led outdoor candles.
The fact that the led candles are remote controlled is even better.
A litte push of a button on my remote and all candles come on.
In other news....Franklin took over my new chair.
I would have never chosen a yellow chair for my deck but it was a bargain so yellow it had to be.
But I'm kind of loving the yellow color out there.

Just to let you know...
This weekend, all Pier 1's will give you an additional 10% off of all clearance items.

Of course I have a little pile of things I am planning on buying which may or 
may not include a cushion or pillow for this chair.

I'm sure Franklin would appreciate it!

So very cute. Great idea for a chandelier. I have to find some of those remote controlled candles. The hubby is all over anything with a remote so I think I will put him in charge of finding some. Franklin looks adorable in the yellow chair.

The darling little chandelier is just right there with your yellow chair...that mod-vintage mix! And Franklin knows darn well that he looks handsome against the yellow!

That is so funny - I honestly just made the exact same kind of chandelier earlier this week - love it! We must be on some kind of psychic wavelength! Am feeling good now, as you are so creative!

Franklin shows off well in that pretty chair but he does need a cushion. He'll appreciate it.

Nita, I don't know which is cuter -the chandelier or Franklin! ...and you know I covet your yellow chair! It's surprising how neutral the color yellow is, in a garden setting. It goes with everything -and spreads happiness, just like you. Enjoy your weekend.

A birdcage chandelier, what a great idea! I definitely have to get some of those remote control candles.
And that Franklin is certainly a handsome little fellow. He'd look good with any color.

Thank goodness for your friendship, I would never have figured out why I was not getting any replies to my comments. By the way my hubby is all over the remote control for the candles.
