Get one of these easy-on-the-pocket chandeliers

Stand up for a chandelier
Heather says, "I love a lot of Ikea's ceiling lamps, but I'm unfortunately a renter of an old-ish building and so attempting to put anything in a wall, let alone a ceiling is a leap of faith I'm not willing to take.


I've made a chandelier floor lamp from a number of Ikea products. Starting with the Not Floor uplight/reading lamp which I bought awhile back, I added a ceiling pendant chandelier lamp which no longer seems to be sold on the Ikea site and I can't remember its name, but I believe I bought it in the past 1 or 2 years.


Additional supplies included long plastic crystal garlands which were on sale at Ikea the Christmas before last (all the Christmas decorations have the same name) for about 1.99 each and a small Ikea lamp shade meant for the mini lamps with candle bulbs. I removed the shade from the metal frame of the lamp, glued it to the plastic shade which came with the ceiling lamp and placed it on top of the metal frame of the Not floor lamp. Then I attached the modified (I've added some more plastic crystals to the ceiling lamp to make it look more dramatic) over the top of the plastic shade and also chained together some extra plastic crystals to form a netting over the smaller reading lamp."

I LOVE this lamp that you've made. I'm trying to fashion something similar to what you've done to dress up my room without breaking the bank but I can't seem to find a plastic crystal chandelier like the one you added to the floor lamp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, or, even better, if you're looking to sell the floor lamp I'd love to buy it! :)

Thanks!
