The chandelier that was in my dining room was gorgeous, but alas it was plastic, not the real deal, as I was unable to afford the real deal that was all crystal.
Then one day an arm just snapped mysteriously, and was left hanging like that for about a year.
We did really REALLY well in Springfield, so I decided to take a little money as a gift to myself and find a replacement chandelier.
After less than two weeks of watching Craigslist I found this beauty. It was listed for $160 and in the same town I live in! So I texted them asking what their bottom price would be if I ran right over there yesterday evening, and she said $130....
Ummm Yes please!!
The ceiling medallion has been sitting around for two years waiting for the right place and my ex husband got up on the ladder this morning and hung it all up for me.
Woohooo!
It's nunnya, but have you thought of remarrying ex and celebrating under that chandelier?
ReplyDeleteLol!!! He lives in my guest room {which was actually more my current husbands idea than mine} so in exchange for rent sometimes I put him to work!!
DeleteSuch a great find! I hope you have a wonderful dinner party this weekend enjoying the new chandelier.

YUMMMMMY! I just love it. I think I'd better start watching Craigslist for a pretty little sumthin' like that too......and to have a nice ex-husband to hang it? WOW. That's such a nice story.

Love Craigslist.. Great find. Love it. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Enjoy your weekend friend...
ReplyDeleteYummy! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteNicki ~ that is really beautiful and I love your medallion! What a great replacement! xo
ReplyDeleteoh my, good glorious loveliness! For the most part, all I ever see on CL is overpriced ugly particle board furniture. If there is beauty like this to be had, me thinks I'll have to shop there more often!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, and totally perfect with your sparkly chandy ♥
Gorgeouse chandelier. I love the medallion. I love chandeliers and ceiling medallions. I have many in my home.

ReplyDeleteHa! had a chuckle over the ex-husband factor....so funny. Only because, yes! I had an ex-wife living under my roof once (with her then husband)...long story! Didn't turn out so great for us...
ReplyDeletebut STILL LAUGHABLE!
oh, and the chandy is so pretty!
I don't recall ever seeing a broken chandy in your photos...you must edit really well. I like this one, and the price!
great find, Pat
