Ta-Da

And the winner is.......
ME!


I got it done. I did. The last time I cleaned this was early spring of 2020. That is rather evident in the first photo. As a recap; I purchased this fixture in the late 1970s from an antique shop in Minneapolis. My father wired it and I have moved it with me from home to home over the years. It's been hanging here the longest time of its life with me. I am not generally one for froo-froo, but that said, I liked it from the moment I first saw it and have not changed my mind. It's not overbearing. Somehow, the Wassily chair and the chandelier work together.

One more pat on my back. I got the kitchen light fixtures washed, too. Yes indeed, my back does hurt, but my self-worth jumped up a notch. Who would think that would make you feel better about yourself? ME!

Good Saturday to all.

    1. You were sent to spam jail, Boud. I have bad shoulders so it's an effort to pat myself on the back this much! I always cleaned it spring and fall. I think once a year will do now.

    1. It's my folly, Lori. We all deserve at least one folly in our lives.

    1. Rita, I do get that! I guess it's a offshoot of the stress, I need to be busy.

  8. That is stunning both unclean and clean! Prettier cleaned up though!
    Your efforts are making me look lame! I need to get my butt in gear and clean all two of those lights I have with those itty bitty webs in them.
    LOL. I told myself they were "decorations" for Halloween.

    Seriously.
    Beautiful.
    Congrats.

    1. Val, I couldn't see the webs unless the light hit it right, so easy to ignore :) It's old a sparkly. Kinda like me!

  10. That's a totally amazing chandelier. And really striking now it's been cleaned. We've got a fancy chandelier but it's nothing like as fancy as yours!

    1. Thank you, nick. It is very old, by what the wiring was. Old stuff. I like it because even though it's full of crystals, it doesn't seem overbearing to me. It's also not very large at all.
