New Chandelier

Last week when my realtor walked through the house she commented on the light in the dining room. She said something like, "I remember you used to have a nice chandelier here. Now it looks like someone just went out and bought something cheap to replace it." Well, that someone was me. The X took the old chandelier that was there, since it was actually hers from before we were married. So after she moved out I went out to Home Depot and bought something that looked okay, thinking I didn't want to spend too much since I was going to be selling the house anyway.

Now, after seeing the room through my realtor's eyes, I realize that the fixture I had bought really did look cheap, and that if we (my realtor and I) want to get top dollar for the house, there should be a much better fixture in the dining room - like a chandelier.

So, after work today I stopped by a lighting store and it didn't take long before I saw the perfect fixture. I didn't want something that hung down too low, and I liked the way this fixture cast shadows around the room. Now that its installed, its even better! The shadows on the ceiling are exquisite and it gives the room a whole new look. I love it!

So after I sell the house, should I put the old fixture back up and take the new one with me? :-)
