Shabby Chic Brass Fan Fireplace Screen

It's time to come clean.....I didn't show you everything I bought at the yard sales over the week end!     I wanted to wait and  make sure that H could fix this piece!    Some of the fans were bent so it wouldn't fan out,  but I was willing to risk the $5  I paid for it in the hope that H could fix it.  
  

After H worked his magic on it,   the screen was in like new condition!     Then came the question.....should I paint it white?   H really likes the brass finish,  so we have decided to "live with it"  a while before we decide.

I knew that I wanted to add some shabby chic touches to it and I started by running a rag strip around the top and adding a bow at the base.

Then I hung some crystals and added some candle light to make them shine.

Here is a photo before I added the candle light......

See my little wicker house in the right bottom corner of the photo?    I have been working on it today and can't wait to show you the before and after!
