Repurposed Hanging Candle Chandelier

Do you know what this is? Would you buy it?

I bought it at a yard sale. I had to ask around but it is a bird perch. For quite a large bird I might add!
Well I don't have a bird, so how about a candle holder?

I removed the wooden perch, and added a distressed wooden shelf!

Pretty cool, huh?

It looks great hanging from the gazebo.

I can't wait to light the candles tonight!

And here it is at night.

    I agree with Laurel....very cool!!! It makes a great candle holder and is perfect for the gazebo. You are right....that would have been one big bird for that perch!

    Great idea! I probably would have walked right by it and never thought of the possibilities! You should take a night time picture of it in your gazebo all lit up-bet it's pretty!

    Love the piece, what a great addition to your area. I have to admit I doubt I would have come up with such a smart idea for this piece either. Thanks for sharing.

    What a lovely transformation! I was thinking that would be a cool towel rack until of course I noticed just how huge it is! Good find and good make-over!

    A candle holder looks so much better than a bird stand, and more useful too. I love your thoughts on changing it over, looks great!
