Suprise For My Sweetheart

Mr. M. is coming home today.

I missed him.

I always do when he is gone.

I have a surpise for him when he gets home.

My sister came over and helped me move some furniture.

She is awesome like that.

This is what he will see when he gets home today.

He has no idea I snuck some furniture in.

This is how it looks today.

This is a picture from the night before.

To fall asleep by tree light is always the best.

We were able to assemble and hang the second chandelier.

I love how it matches the sconces.

This chandelier also looks a lot like other chandeliers we have in the rest of the house.

It hangs above our bed.

I am so excited this room is coming together.

Dreamy Lighting

Romantic lighting!

We are so close to the next step towards finishing our new master bedroom.

We finished putting in the electrical boxes for the lights this week.

I of course changed my mind several times.

I tried to visualize how they would look when the room is done.

The final one we were trying to center over where we will put the bed.

Mr. M. says he does not want a light over the bed, said he does not like the one we currently have over our bed now.

I batted my eyes at him and said "what if it is a romantic crystal chandelier?"

He rolled his eyes and moved the box.

He knows I have been thinking about all of it.

The colors.

The mantel.

The floor.

The drapes.

The furniture.

All of it.

Right now I am concentrating on the lighting.

And, there are a lot of them.

Good thing I am not superstitious.

Five of them you will not see, they are in closets and the laundry room.

I may not attach a light to the fan in the middle of the room.

That leaves us with.

I do not want them to all match.

I do not want them to clash either.

I am thinking of having them all have crystals.

Different heights.

here

Different styles.

Some elegant.

here

Some simple.

So what do you think?

Will they all work together in one room?

It is a large room.

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?
