DIY activity

It's only taken 2 years, but we finally got rid of a very ugly chandelier we had hanging in our breakfast nook. When we moved in, we inherited the light fixtures from the previous owners. Most of it was reasonable neutral, but some showed their penchant for country motives, including the kitchen counter backsplash (yes, it's got flowers - but they'll be out soon too) and this chandelier, now nicely waiting for the next trash pickup.


It took some acrobatics to reach the ceiling...and I'm happy the Safety Administration did not pay a visit, as standing on a chair on the middle of the table would probably have been ruled 'unsafe', but we got the job done...without hurting the table, the chair or any bones in our body..
...and the results are very satisfactory. Hurah, no more looking at an old-fahioned frilly chandelier. Welcome to modern fixtures....



and the breakfast table just told me it feels very relieved too not to have a heavy, bulky object dangling above it. very freeing.
