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.
All that back patting! It does look good. So it's good for a few years now..
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
DeleteWay to go! It looks all beautiful again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Far Side. It does.
DeleteOK! Kudos to you! That second shot is absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's my folly, Lori. We all deserve at least one folly in our lives.
DeleteYou are unstoppable.
ReplyDeleteFor several years I was unstartable, AC!
DeleteI commented. It's gone..
ReplyDeleteFound you.
DeleteIt looks stunning and an inspiration for me to get cleaning.
ReplyDeleteI aim to inspire, Marlane!
DeleteI can see why you love that chandalier so much, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pixie. It is sparkly.
DeleteI would be patting myself on the back for that, too! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHey--I've had times where just managing to take a shower deserved an ovation--ROFL! That is awesome!! :)
Rita, I do get that! I guess it's a offshoot of the stress, I need to be busy.
DeleteWOW! I am sending you many pats on your back. Plus, a little cheer: Sandra, Sandra there is no stopping you! YAY! YAY....YYYAAAYYY!
ReplyDeleteKaye
Thanks, Kaye. I'm slow but I'm making the attempt. I have my own cheer, I like that!!
DeleteThat is stunning both unclean and clean! Prettier cleaned up though!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
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!
DeleteYou did a great job, Sandra, and that chandelier is a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dorothy. It's old and still hanging around.
DeleteThat'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!
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
