new chandelier

i've been bugging anthony to switch out the chandelier in our living room. i bought this one way back in october. he's looked into it, but never felt confident enough to do it himself. but as soon as he walked in the door today, he pointed at the light and next thing you know, we spent the next couple hours figuring it out! haha. okay, by WE i really mean HE. he had to shut off the electricity, climb into the attic, rewire everything, and then hook up the new one. i pretty much just held stuff up for him and pointed the flashlight towards wherever he was working. i'm very happy with the result! the room is much brighter, and i like the cool shadow display on the ceiling. it's way better than the scary, giant candle shadows that used to fall on the walls. haha. you can see the original chandelier in yesterday's picture. this new one is much cuter, right?!
