Hubby has been coveting the ceiling fan and light over our dining room table for a long time. He wants to put it in the bedroom because he likes the air circulation on warm nights.

We also happen to have a crystal chandelier, but it was/is disassembled, so we spent a while yesterday (why I was scarce) taking the fan down and putting up the chandelier's skeleton.

Today we've been unwrapping each individually wrapped crystal (yes, they came through the move intact for the most part, and I have ordered replacements for the three broken ones), and there are literally hundreds of the stinkin' things.

But boy, are they ever gorgeous when the sun shines on the assembled lamp.

This is likely to take a while, so I will try to be in and out of here when I take breaks to sit down for a few minutes.

When ordering crystal, make sure not to check the "meth" box.

What a job!
I love having a ceiling fan in my bedroom..I turn it on low all summer and can keep the A/C at a higher temp setting.

My daughter runs hers summer and winter.
