But back to the positive. I've been scouring (ie: I have a feed setup) for a silver/nickel/chrome chandelier to replace the ugly gold one in my dining room for awhile now. I knew as soon as I moved in that I wanted to replace that chandelier but things that function don't make it to the top of the to-do list when you buy a foreclosure.

| Old ugly chandelier |
Most of the chandeliers on Craigslist are hideous. If a nice looking one comes up it usually goes pretty quickly. When I saw this one I jumped on it. The sellers told me that someone else was coming to look at it and that it might not be available when I got off work that day. Luckily, the other person was a no show.

| New brushed nickel chandelier |
I snagged this guy for a cheap price and had my handyman install it for me (I didn't want to attempt my first light fixture swap with a fixture at the top of a vaulted ceiling). I think it goes a long way towards making the room look updated. There's room to lengthen the chain but I need to find some matching chain first so for now it's a bit higher than I would've wanted.
Now I just need to find a matching entry light....
