Big Ronnie and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last weekend, and he gave me the gift of crossing a long awaited project of our list! We finally gave the chandelier a proper home at The Bay Ridge Limestone.

We do have access to the fuse box in our apartment, so we were able to cut the power to the entire room before we began. There was a large lighted ceiling fan there previously, so we knew the weight of the chandelier would be fine. Connected the wires, and tested all 6 lights! Easy right?
If there were more complications when we took down the old piece, we might have jumped ship on the whole project. But it was pretty straight forward. The dial that covers the brace holding the entire lighting piece to the ceiling, is pretty small in diameter. My next idea is to buy a larger one, spray paint it a glossy red, and cover up the cracks surrounding the hole in the ceiling - al the same time!
After our weekend project was completed and cleaned up, we got outside and took a walk through Owl's Head Park. The weather is just starting to warm up here in Brooklyn, and the flowers were in full bloom!
La vita è bella,
