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?
Not an easy task...but I'm sure you'll have fun trying to get the right one!!
ReplyDeleteOh, chandy hunting! I don't have a single one in my house anymore.

Alaina, you're hilarious! Multiple chandeliers! Happy hunting :)
ReplyDeleteumm yah we all have extra chandeliers sitting around, you know just in case someone breaks it....aaahhahaha.....i would be running to the nearest ikea.
ReplyDeletehaha!!! That's really funny you had that many!!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing as fun as you!! I hope you find the perfect chandy (or two :)
ReplyDeleteLoooooove it!! I had to read this post to my husband who just looked at me exasperated. I have a chandelier in every room of the house and always have to bribe him to get him to hang a new one!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky girl you...so sad they broke the other one...hee hee Have fun and can't wait to see what lovely you find to bring home.

Alaina, there would be no-one else I know that would have such a fabulous stash of chandies as you:) I love it!!!! Happy antiquing tomorrow, hope you find the perfect one!!!! Hugs ~ Txx
ReplyDeleteAre you SURE you didn't have them brake the chandy on purpose?!?! :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun shopping!!!
ReplyDeleteohh you are too funy! I don't have any spare chandies laying around.... wait.... I think something may be wrong with me! I look forward to seeing what you find to replace the oops! with.
ReplyDeleteOK, 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a great night.
Sincerely,
Melinda
