Over the weekend we hung two of the three chandeliers that needed to be hung. We’re hoping to hang the last chandelier this coming weekend. It was no small task but a task worth every bit of effort we put into it.

Hubby started with the chandelier in the foyer. First he lowered the hoist from the ceiling and attached the medallion and frame then wired the chandelier from the ground floor. How sweet!

We unwrapped the crystals securing them on a table for the next step. The next step was to clean each piece and then hand to hubby while he hung them on the frame.

Ta Da, every last drop of crystal was dripping from the frame and now she’s making a trip to the ceiling.

Once the chandelier reaches the top, it automatically connects with the electric above. It’s switched (on the wall) with a dimmer.

Hubby declares he will never hang her again without a hoist system. I’ll admit, it’s one slick tool and I’m thankful he didn’t have to struggle hanging this one climbing up and down a ladder.

Here she is from the outside looking in

And again from the same spot after dark

The next chandelier was hung in the same manner as the previous one. Hubby hung the medallion and frame, then all the unwrapping took place, followed by cleaning and me handing each piece to hubby to hang.

I took several shots of the dining room light.

Another shot tonight

I love the way this picture turned out, kinda puts me in the mind of a cool piece of art. I took this shot directly underneath it.

Zoomed in from underneath

I’ll be posting more projects around the house as soon as we finish with them, stay tuned.
