Tea Party Chandelier

I've shared photos before of upcycled vintage teacup and spoon chandeliers in our clients' homes, but in today's client spotlight the tea party chandelier takes a new twist!

This is the tea party chandelier that we have in our gallery, custom-made by American artisans. It's crafted from a vintage tea service including the teapot itself plus the silver plated spoons, a sugar bowl, creamer, tea tray and china teacups. The whole whimsical concoction is made to order and as the vintage tea service pieces are all unique, every single one of the brilliantly upcycled chandeliers is unique too.
Our clever customer Kelley F. in Houston, TX, made hers even more unique!

Spot the difference? Kelley added her own personal touch by changing out the vintage tea cups to large double espresso coffee cups. Kelley sent us the photo saying "I added my own cups to the light fixture...I'm in love!!!" She got the classic white Rhodes coffee cups from Pottery Barn, adding that she really wanted the ones that said 'tea' on them, but they would have been too big for the chandelier. In any case, she loves them now!

Here's another photo of the vintage tea service chandelier with the tea party transformed into a celebration of coffee! The chandelier is a substantial 23 inches high so it can hold its own as a focal point in a large space like Kelley's open plan living room and breakfast nook.  You can tell that Kelley has a very artistic eye from the interesting array of decorative items on the shelves and also the gallery of framed images on the far wall.

The view back toward the kitchen also shows Kelley's eclectic and witty taste. I love the oversized fork and spoon on the wall. This looks like such a happy home. I'm delighted that  Kelley wrote, "I am sooooooooo happy with my new breakfast nook chandelier.  It works perfectly with my home and matches my personality to a T!!!"

Hmm, was that a deliberate pun, Kelley? That the tea party chandelier suits you to a T? Ha! Thank you for sharing your photos and we hope that you party on whether you choose tea or coffee for breakfast!
