Finally, a chandelier and a big change...
So, after 8 months, I have finally found my chandelier. Better yet, it was affordable! Cheap, actually, for an antique chandelier. In a nutshell? $125 from Ebay, arrived broken, received full refund through the Post Office, took it to my lamp-repair guru, he repaired it beautifully (found out it was actually a 6-arm, not the 5-arm it was advertised - yeah for me!), paid him $145, and brought my chandelier home. And it only took 6 months... Of course, after all that, it's still sitting in a box in the basement waiting to be hung:( Why? Because we're moving! Yes, after just 10 months in this house, we're moving. Yes, we are bordering on insanity. Yes, after 6 years of trying to make two new construction ranch homes look country-French-cottagey, my husband has given up indulged me and bought a fabulous (well, I think so and that's all that really matters, right?) 113 year old house. Okay, it's actually a foreclosure in a complete state of disrepair - on the outside anyway, in a small town 25 miles from where we live now with a yard no bigger than a dorm room postage stamp, but hey I got my old house! Still haven't sold the ranch house. Hoping a divorce is not to follow.....
