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....
