I Never Thought...

My first chandelier

I never thought I would be buying a chandelier...
It just wasn't really me, I thought...

But then I have never had a flat from 1890 with 3.5 m under the ceiling before either... 
It was just so clear that our flat in Edinburgh just NEEDS a chandelier...!

There is a perfectly fine lamp hanging in the living room, and the room actually needing a new light is the second bedroom where there is just a lone light bulb hanging from the ceiling...
What were they thinking!?
Not pretty at all...!

We spent last Saturday walking around the antique shops in Edinburgh (I have to commend Our Boy on being soooo patient!), but as always when you are looking for something particular, nothing seemed right...
Lo and behold - a decision was quickly made when we came across 1/2 price sale on new lamps in a department store (yep - we love a bargain):

The light in the living room will be moved to the second bedroom and a new chandelier will be put up in the living room!

Not the antique find we had hoped for,
but no comparison to the lone light bulb!

    Åååå den var bare nydelig! Det er så dekorativt og fint med prismelamper, jeg har en selv på hytta, der er det høyt under taket og den kommer helt til sin rett!
    Gratulerer med ny flott lampe, heldiggrisen!:))

    Lysekroner er lekkert ! Grattis med din. Alle hjem hvor det er høyt under taket burde hatt en lysekrone :-)

    Hvordan er været hos dere nå?

    Kjempefin lampe og det er enkelt å la seg påvirke av trender i tiden som en aldri hadde trodd skulle få innflytelse på en selv. Godt at en ikke gror fast i et mønster, men har evnen til å få nye inpulser.

    Ønsker dere en fin kveld.

    Very elegant! Now we both have chandeliers ... must be a sign of having arrived!! Personally, however, I've never polished ours and I fear that it will tarnish into oblivion unless I do something ... soon! Any other wonderful antique shop finds?

    Nydelig lampe. Har selv to prismelamper. Skulle gjerne hatt flere. Hvor jeg skal ha de er en annen sak
    Ønsker deg en fin kveld

    Ahh NYDELIG!!
    Jeg har heller ikke hatt noe forhold til lysekroner før, men nå er det høyt opp på ønskelisten.. :)

    Har to stk i mer moderne utforming med prismer og elsker den på syrommet - prismene siler lyset og gir så fint spill.

    Nyt den nye lampen :)

    Klem
