Chris and I have been debating, well not really debating, more like discussing the need to change the light fixture in our dining room. There was one vote for changing and one vote for leaving the 1970's very elegant, valuable crystal fixture. Yes, it was elegant, and valuable, and made of fine crystals. But . . . it was from the 70's! Guess you can tell what the writer of this blog was voting for. Since we are a democracy, I decided to get the vote of our children to break the tie. When polled, they each were very diplomatic, and wouldn't vote. However, I caught Alison in a weak moment. We talked on the phone while we looked at Overstock.com. I found the fixture I wanted and she agreed it was nice. I took the picture to Chris, asked him for his blessing, he consented, and we installed it yesterday. I wish we could capture in a picture how beautiful it makes the dining room. You'll just have to come visit to see. Oh, and my conversation with Alison resulted in changing her light fixture with a great find from ksl.com. Check out her blog.P.S. Just for clarification, we did not change the crystal chandelier from Chris' mission. It is timeless and still hangs over the kitchen table.
The light fixture is beautiful! But I wanted to see the "before" too because I couldn't remember what it looked like!
ReplyDeleteOh great...you make me sound like the problem child. The only one who gave an opinion. But oh well, the new fixture is great!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, we are going to install the old fixture in our bedroom once the popcorn ceiling is taken down. Hopefully within the next month. We couldn't just get rid of it. It may appear on the Antiques Roadshow someday (:
ReplyDeleteAlison no worries, I think it was known that I was on the side to change it as well :) You just helped pick out the winner :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Mom, it looks great I do want to see it in person!!
