New Light

I've been in the process of changing the ceiling lights around the house. This chandelier, in the dining room, is my favorite.

It's difficult to see the details in the web-sized version. The chandelier body is dark bronze with antique brass accents and the glass is alabaster rimmed with antique brass.

Slowly but surely the boring brass builder lights are being replaced by lights of my choosing. The new lights aren't elaborate. People who see them are more likely to look around saying, "is something different in here?" than to notice them directly, and I like that.

It makes me feel like I've chosen well when a new object blends in with the existing environment. I'm such an eclectic shopper that I'm always happy when my mish-mash of purchases blend well.

Now if only the light for the garage entryway would arrive. I ordered it at the beginning of April with the others and while they were all supposed to be here in two weeks, the last one is backordered. I've just had a call that it isn't expected now until July.

Even simple home improvements are never simple.
