Last week, Grant came home from Costco and told me, "I have a surprise for you in the car!" Normally I'd expect candy or chocolate, because Grant knows I have a killer sweet tooth. Think of all the chocolatey treats it might be! Industrial, Costco sized chocolatey treats, spilling out the back of his car! (Can you tell I haven't had sweets in two weeks?!)
But anyway, it was not a treat. Well, not a treat-to-eat. Instead it was feast for the eyes: a new chandelier! Grant found it on clearance at Costco ( I didn't even know that existed...) for $40! What a score! It took us (meaning... mostly Grant) a half hour or so to install.
It's a nice, bright improvement on the previous, builder-grade light we had before. (See at the top?)
It holds four teardrop lightbulbs, which amazingly we had hanging around for some reason.
I don't feel like it matches our kitchen well yet. But maybe with the white cabinets and black countertops that we're dreaming of...
It's the best feeling to happen upon a deal without even trying. Now we just need to happen upon a few more cheap chandeliers for the laundry room, dining room, bedroom....
Cute! And your canvas project looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do this in my house and thought you might like it for yours. It seems like it would fit your living room perfectly (in my humble opinion).

I guess I should be more specific, I mean the framed flat screen.
ReplyDeleteHey Christina-- Yeah we were actually thinking about that! I'm digging it, Grant's not sure... we'll see. I want to see pictures if you do it!
