Oops!



The good news is the mattress company delivered our new mattress today.

The better news is they took away the bad one.

But, then there was the oops.





THE GREAT NEWS IS THEY BROKE THE CHANDELIER ON THE WAY OUT!

Now we I have to find a replacement.

So.
I
went
in
the
basement
and
looked through my stash.

The first one was too tall.


The next one was too small.


The next one just didn't look right.


The next one he said save for the hall.


The next one.
The next one.
He said "where are you getting all of these?"

WHAT?

Doesn't everyone have an extra chandelier or five?

Anyway, the last next one he said is just TOO white and it should stay in the shed.


Really, did you think I only had five, there were a few more but they had cloth covered wire,
and being the fireman that he is, they were not even worth showing him. 

The BEST news is I get to go antique shopping to find just the right chandelier.

I know what I am doing tomorrow, how about you?

  12. OK, chandelier lady, I'm dying at your cloth covered wire comment. I found a really cool old fan and my husband had a fit because it had old wiring, so he insisted on rewiring it. He wouldn't even let me plug the thing it, just to see if it worked with the old cord.

  13. You really just made me laugh!! I have about a dozen chandeliers as well and my husband's always asking where did those all come from? Like he really doesn't know! Have fun shopping for a new one, can't wait to see what you get.
    Have a great night.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda
