Magnolia? We don't go beyond white here.

I'm all for white.... no choosing, it's available everywhere, it's cheap, only one tin to keep in the shed

Also - no horrible "it didn't look like that on the tin/chart" moments once it's applied or dried.

Pn, I like the first one here

We need two, but probably a little smaller, but not too tiny. Small lights are not lir-delicious. I might just get biggish ones. The twigs will be free.


I saw an amazing habitat chandelier at homebase that I like, very modern but I like the candles on it, but it's 170. I am looking more at 17 pe cheap light. I would spend more for nice candles though. But not 170 x two for me to glue twigs on to it.

Don't bulbs get hot? and twigs burn?

Well, yes but if you keep the twigs away from the bulbs and they are the new sort that barely light up a white box at midday in July.....I think the risk would be very minor. We have other wooden lights...jus not twig ones.

I rented... no choice.
I have carpet in the living room/bedroom; tiles in the bathroom; strip of lino in the kitchen. Cream walls. Small white curtains in bedroom; one small white bline in kitchen and bathroom; beige curtains in living room.
Cutlery is in the drawer - a set I bought for £2 in about 1979 that are still immaculate + a set I bought in about 1995 for not a lot more.

My belongings/furnishings are more "bleak" than any other description.

No lampshade/whatever as it's wall lights here.

My cutlery was cheaper that yours

When I worked in a kitchenware shop, someone brought back a set as the rivets had gone funny in the dishwasher (they are one of those sets that come with a stand and hang from a loop at the end of the handle). They were going to be chucked so I asked if I could have them for when I went to Uni.

Mine were slightly more expensive, but not too much (like I said, TK Maxx clearance).

I just really like them - they passed my go away and think about it test

I really like the idea of a twig chandelier, especially with lots of LED lights twinkling through. I'd be a tad worried about flammability though.

A very nice builder and his team gave us the pink purple set for Christmas. I was overwhelmed:o. I had not even thought about it. Seriously, nice builders are super ice people.


I love green and purple together nikkster, ( but I also love orange and purple which scares lots of people):D

Ahhh... what a lovely gift!

I'm not really keen on orange, strangely I think I like it better with purple than on its own :rotfl:

There are some really pretty led light fairy ones, but, thats one of the reason I think th e plain style might be better...it's easier to keep things separate.


Plus easier to make.:D

I never think I like orange, but things prove I am wrong all the time. I adore Californian poppies, for example. They cannot help but make you feel brighter.

So, this managed pharmacy thing for my drugs has NOT worked. They were meant to come last evening and didn't so said they would come this evening and haven't. Grrrrrrrrr.
