Trying to save a lilac

At the center is my bee and butterfly house, a gift from my mother. The lilac is blooming, and the back is almost completely dead. I've trimmed all the dead branches, removing some part completely and cutting back to live wood in others. This is a lot of dead wood (below). 

Below is the "after." I may trim a little more for shaping. It may not bloom next year, but I'm hopeful that it will recover.
