The more and more I look at my design taste, I know we're going to have to move somewhere like Denver. Or to Ohio, they're big on Craftsman style lodges. Sigh.<br /><br /><br />Here in Hawaii, we're looking at new lighting, but I think most of ours are going to be accompanied by ceiling fans, so not much chandelier action here. I look forward to vicariously enjoying your chandelier upgrades - in a way that doesn't sound as weird as that sentence does.

It was pretty simple to install, although I can't say that personally since my husband and FIL did all the work. Do you get emails from One Kings Lane or Joss and Main?

Depending on your area's regulations/codes, you may have to have an electrician do it. But your building managers should know that and be able to advise you.<br />Sounds fun!
