HUNG









Our tall, tall ceiling proved to be my nemesis. I climbed up a very tall ladder and still the shock of the height made me realize that I was not brave enough to switch out the light fixtures. Enter Dilshad, the very happy and extremely polite electrician, who easily hung my chandelier. He originally quoted me $120 to do the job and even at that price I agreed because I just wanted my pretty piece of red hung. After completing the job in record time he charged me $60! He said it was worth more but that was enough. I think he was charmed by Asher and Soren and must have taken some pity on my pregnant silhouette.

I thanked him heartily and bid him farewell with a sparkling lemon soda.

Shortly after Dilshad left and the crustless asparagus quiche was put in the oven I went to work on hanging a gorgeous print procured from my mega talented best friend Ashley. It was a tough job for one person and I accept that it is crooked (Jamie or my mom can help me remedy that problem) but at least it is finally hung! I love it and admit that it pains me not to have it protected in a frame--it is rightfully our next piece to be framed.

Love how the Chandelier turned out. It will bring a little bit more happiness to your soul every time you step upstairs!

Glad you hired the electrician.
