We started wearing a watch again for the first time in years. This single act has freed us from locating our cell phone when we need to know what time it is.

Who says silverware has to live in a drawer? Julia gets creative with some vintage finds and fashions a chandelier. Let's break down her tutorial and tools for this project after the jump.
