After almost 2.5 years of having no light fixture in the main living area/dining area – I’ve finally picked out the perfect light fixture!  I was looking specifically at a chandelier style fixture, but simple and modern and small enough for the condo.   Went to the trusty Google – and looked through pages after pages and images after images of “modern chandeliers” – most are either too large/elaborate, or too costly.  no, i don’t need diamonds/crystals on my light.  It’s just decorative!  plus definitely not in my budget.

What I finally found was this beautiful 5 light 38″ Bar pendant chandelier from Overstock.com for approx $250.  Shipping no issues, came with all the pendants in individual bubble wrap for protection.  Hired a guy who came and in installed it in 20 mins or so. and voila – let there be light!

Since we are blessed to have a 3 bedroom condo – we converted this 3rd bedroom into our closet/storage. I have a very critical and very valuable shoe closet – courtesy of Ikea. sometimes you try to get away from Ikea…but damn their great design at low prices…bonus is the extra closet for Nick’s suits and dress shirts, including entire drawer for his ties. Isn’t it pretty?
