Her pain my gain..... :)

Renting is a bit challenging for me. I can't just go

taking a hammer or paint brush to things ya know?

So man! were we lucky to land this place! The paint colors are

new and fresh, it's got granite tops in the kitchen and the 

grounds around here are pristine:)

But there's just one thing....

Me no likey this light.

I thought there was no end in sight because I was not

about to spend any money replacing it.

Wellllll........

 Then Rio moved to town:)

and with her came her hoard of "things I was going to use in

my house somewhere" stuff.

Dang... she IS my daughter!!!

When she unloaded this chandelier (that was still boxed)

she went on to tell me how she was sooo bummed because

she wasn't going to be able to use it in their current house.

I stood there listening, faking a sad face and said-

"oh man honey I'm sooo not sorry about that!!"

two seconds later-

"now go put it in my car."

LOOKY!! Is that the sweetest little bird chandelier you 

ever did see??

 It makes me happy all day everyday:)

Rio found this adorable light here, in case you want one for yourself:)

Yes one of the bulbs is out, but I needed me some blog pics!

Priorities people!!

Do you see the distant cousin to the old chandelier 

back there? Ugh. I gotta say, it is a step up from the boob lights though.

We're going to be putting a ceiling fan up there before long:)

So the moral of the story is..

Mama's don't let your babies hoard stuff that isn't... AWESOME!! 

hee hee hee!!
