Painted in soft pastels — powder pink, lagoon blue, or radiant gold — they gracefully host pots of begonias, petunias, and little succulents.

My neighbor’s garden is a fairytale oasis — a miniature world bursting with flowers, delicate fragrances, and lovingly crafted details.

But her secret touch is precisely these forgotten chandeliers.

Amazing, isn’t it? These outdated light fixtures, rejected by everyone, she adopts and gives them a poetic new life.

I still remember the day I saw her dragging that rusty chandelier. “Come see how it blooms at my place,” she said with a wink.

And indeed, when I stepped in, I discovered these creations: a lagoon-blue chandelier here, a soft pink one there, and farther on, a gleaming gold one.

The light bulbs have given way to potted flowers — begonias, petunias, succulents.

“A chandelier doesn’t always have to light up,” she confided. “It can also make memories bloom.”

Since then, every time I see an old chandelier, I no longer think of a worn-out object but of the magic in her garden. And you? Maybe an old chandelier at your home is waiting for its second life.
