I posted a while back about my sweet chandelier find and how I painted it black to really make it pop as you walked into the room. I kept looking at it though, and thinking about the white fake candle covers. You know I love faux, but these really just kind of stood out and took away from the overall gestalt of the fixture. (Yes, I just used gestalt to talk about a decorating element. Get used to it.) I pondered the problem and then finally thought: electrical tape! I covered the white plastic with a thin strip of black electrical tape which bring another texture to the light, but still unifies with color.

What do you think? A little goth, right? And a whole lot edgier. Now about those chairs...
