Hello🤗

I’m Ava, and I have a chandelier problem. I bought my first chandie in the spring of 2024 and instantly became obsessed with buying and transforming vintage fixtures.

If I’m not working on a chandelier I’m probably wearing my postpartum doula or foster parent hat 💖 There’s also a good chance I’m yapping to my boyfriend about lightbulbs or something.

This has been such a fun journey so far and I’m thankful you are part of it!!!

getting started

  • Take a look through my past work here or on social media. Save anything that catches your eye - colors, shapes, vibes. You don’t need a full vision yet, just a general direction.

  • Once you’re feeling inspired, fill out the “Start Your Order” form. I’ll ask a few simple questions about:

    • The style or mood you’re going for

    • What kind of space you’re working with

    • Your price range

    No pressure to know everything - this just helps me understand what you’re imagining and starts the conversation.

  • Based on your form, I’ll pull a few chandelier options from my inventory and send them your way.
    You’ll pick the one you love, and we’ll talk through the design details from there.

  • To lock in your chosen chandelier, I require a $100 non-refundable deposit via Venmo or PayPal.
    This deposit holds the fixture for you and reserves your spot in my queue.

  • Once your deposit is in, we’ll get into the fun part: colors! We can look at inspiration pics, talk through tones, or build a custom palette together.

  • Most projects take around a couple of months from deposit to completion. I’ll give you a loose timeline upfront, and I’ll keep you updated as I work, including progress pics along the way.

  • When your chandelier is finished, I’ll send the remaining balance. You can pick up locally in Oak Park, MI, or I can ship it anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.

  • Once it’s hanging, please send me a photo—I love seeing where each piece ends up!
