You Light Up My Life

If you love our kitchen chandeliers, so did I when we first saw them hanging in a funky store in South Beach.  It’s not Brad’s style to buy ‘off the rack’- my super talented husband has a lot of lighting resources as an architect.

When I saw the chandelier, my heart jumped like a little girl being handed her first lollipop!  I might have squealed when I saw it.  I said something like, “we have to get it!”  Brad immediately said, “we are NOT getting a chandelier from this place.”  To which I answered, “you’re right, we’re getting two!”-lol.

Soon we were leaving South Beach with the store’s promise of two super fantastic chandeliers being delivered to Shangri-Las Vegas in two weeks.  By the way, everything in life takes two weeks, even if it doesn’t!  As you may sense, our two-weeks promise came and went.  Then, some time later (sometime that next year) NO I’M NOT KIDDING, we had two gorgeous chandeliers hanging in our kitchen.

After a myriad of issues . . .one light coming, one light not coming; pieces missing, store going out of business, hard to find vendor, etc . . . we finally had our beautiful chandeliers.  Granted, I ate some crow pie but Brad humored in sharing a piece with me.  As it turns out Brad knew better than the little girl with the lollipop… or did he?

We love these chandeliers so much that I would happily eat some crow for the sweetness I enjoy everyday in this kitchen!  We were both right and we are both happy with them.

The store Regis at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas keeps in touch with Robert the lighting guy if you want one for yourself .
