These Chandeliers Really Class Up the Joint
I felt something was missing from our lives. A little bling. A little glam. I also hated the overhead lights in the apartment. You know what solves both problems? Chandeliers!
I bought this 5-light crystal chandelier from Overstock, where it got RAVE reviews.
Here's what it looks like in our bedroom:
We also bought this one from Overstock, although you can buy it from Pottery Barn if you're keen on paying more than twice the price. Many thanks to Copy Cat Chic for the post that inspired me.
Here's it is in our entryway:
I wish we could've replaced all the overheads, but it just wasn't in the budget. In the interest of complete disclosure, these lights arrived completely disassembled. I put on most of the crystals (it's hard on the manicure, ladies!), and Hubs trimmed and capped the excess wires. We attempted to get permission from our management company, but got some resistance from the first person we spoke to, so instead, we just went ahead and paid an electrician $60 to install them with Hubs' help. We dismantled and saved the old fixtures, and will pay the electrician to reinstall them when we move out.
Worth it!
