The revisions to our lovely home have continued. It definitely was a lovely house to begin with, but it was a tad on the grandma side. No offense to the previous owner, but i don’t mean the grandma-style that marta loves so dearly. i’m talking christmas-plaid, country-mom, ducks-and-those-dolls-with-straw-hair grandma style!!
Anyways, I have many more photos to post including the mantle and cabinet my friend Mark just built for us, but for now I’m posting a photo of our new/old 1920′s chandelier courtesy of Maile Eaton and the piano that was just passed down to Marta from her Aunt Lisa…Thank you to both parties!
The chandelier and the piano all in one room

The old chandelier that is on its way to Portland

That last photo kept reminding me of that old Spike Jones commercial for Ikea. If you haven’t seen it…change that now:
Spike Jones Ikea ad – “Many of you feel sorry for this lamp…that’s because you’re crazy”




Awesome chandelier! And I had never seen that commercial before- so funny!
