CHEAP TO CHIC: BAMBOO CHANDELIERS!

Pieces - Red Pagoda Chandelier - $1750 (Newly painted red-orange semi gloss. Custom made antiqued candle sleeves made from pipe. Pagoda design style.)(above)

Loving bamboo chandeliers...found one on eBay for a friend a few weeks back and she won it...she painted it white. In particular loving the Pagoda chinoiserie style of these faux bamboo hanging lights. Very 1050's, 1960's...glamorous Hollywood (Hollywood Regency) or Palm Beach chic.

They come in metal, painted metal (tole), wood, resin and many other faux bamboo forms and they come in a wide variety of colors!

Am more partial to these chandeliers, pendants, lanterns and lights in bright white...but maybe you could buy one of these and then paint it.
