this little light of mine

Our house was built in 1994 and between then and when we bought it, it saw several major updates. The kitchen and master bath were beautifully updated and everything else is up-to-date enough for us. All this means that we haven't had to do any big reno projects on the house. One little thing that was a pretty big eyesore was the chandelier in the foyer. With it's brass and glass elements, it definitely dated the house. We knew we would eventually change it, but the logistics of getting up the 18 feet to do so took some planning. We found a new fixture we liked and borrowed 15 feet of scaffolding, and made the switch-a-roo. After spending several hours watching my dad sitting on two 2x4's 15 feet in the air, I can definitely see why the former owners never got around to updating this.
