It wasn’t too long ago when I wrote about this lovely chandelier and wished it gone from the ceiling!

Mr. H.C read the post and kindly obliged two weeks later. But first there was electric work to be finished in the attic.

Have you seen these new bucket ceiling lights? They are all the rage in Europe. I’m sure you’ll be seeing them at your local Ikea soon. (Yes, we buy Kilz Primer by the five-gallon bucket.)

Then there were ceiling boards to prime and paint and nail up; but at the end of the day weekend, this is how the ceiling had changed. Presto. Change-o. (Well, not quite that fast…) A beautiful new old ceiling light.

And I can’t resist one more view from the living room into the kitchen:

You can tell that the ceiling doesn’t yet have its final coats of paint, but we just couldn’t wait to see it without being yoked to that old chandelier.
Ahhh…. Life is good.
