I saw this tutorial on TONY and thought it was beautiful, Abilene bar is the bar up the road from hy house, i have never gone in but always noticed these pretty lights. My boyfriend recently re-created this in his room but attached a dimmer to the switch, The effect is beautiful.

"5–20 Y-shaped socket adapters (a.k.a. “splitters”), $2.79 at Home Depot (

15–20 small round standard-base lightbulbs,

STEP BY STEP

* Make sure your ceiling has a standard-socket light fixture into which you can screw the chandelier.

1 Take a Y-shaped socket adapter and screw two more Y-shaped socket adapters into each of its ends.

2
Then screw two more socket adapters into each of those ends and so on,
until your chandelier has split out enough to the desired size.

3 Next, screw the lightbulbs into the empty socket ends.

4
Attach the completed chandelier to the ceiling by twisting the original
Y-shaped adapter—which is now the chandelier’s base—into your ceiling’s
light fixture. Seriously, that’s it!
