10 Chandeliers Made From Everyday Objects

Who says you have to spend huge amounts of money on a crystal chandelier? There are plenty of objects lying around your house that could provide pretty lighting, given some ingenuity. Take Stuart Haygarth's Tide Chandelier, for example. Composed of man-made debris that washed up on a specific stretch of Kent (England) coastline, Haygarth collected these bits of garbage and turned them into something spectacular. Many of the chandeliers in this slideshow are recycled, upcycled, or just plain ingenious. While some of these chandeliers are for sale, others are DIY projects that you might want to tackle.

Upcycled Dresses and Tunics Are Made to Grow

With school back in session there is a seemingly endless supply of comfy Fall play clothes in stores.

With school back in session there is a seemingly endless supply of comfy Fall play clothes in stores. While impulses can get the best of us, it is important to stick with the staples. If your kids are like mine, they will outgrow this season's duds before Winter.

I adore this upcycled reversible birdie dress in cream and linen ($32) because it was designed for growth — it's a pinafore dress now, but is shaped so it can become a top as your lil one gets taller. The maker has a whole selection of similar styles.
