Quick Change – Un cambio rápido
For the past four years the chandelier in our dining room has been the one that hung in my grandmother’s dining room for years. I love having that piece of my past in my own home.
La lámpara en nuestro comedor por los últimos cuatro años ha sido la que colgaba en el comedor de mi abuela por muchísimos años. Me encanta tener esa parte de mi pasado en mi propia casa.
However, the light fixture has been falling apart for a while and is now desperately in need of fixing. I want to get it fixed before it breaks beyond all repair.
Sin embargo, últimamente la lámpara se rompe y necesita un arreglo. Me gustaría hacerlo antes de que se rompa sin esperanza de repararse.
Our neighbor kindly gave me this lamp to use while mine is being repaired. It was given to him by another neighbor. We live in a friendly neighborhood!
Un vecino me dio esta lámpara para colgar mientras la mía se repone. Otra vecina se la dio a él. ¡Vivimos en un vecindario amable de verdad!
It only took Douglas a couple of minutes to make the switch. He has experience changing light fixtures.
Douglas hizo el cambio en sólo unos minutos. Tiene experiencia haciendo esto.
We like the new light. Douglas would like to leave it here and put my grandmother’s in the kitchen. What do you think?
Nos gusta el cambio. A Douglas le gustaría dejarla allí y poner la de mi abuela en la cocina. ¿Qué piensas tú?
Talking about Douglas, he is doing well. He should be arriving in Idaho today. His trip has been good, and he has been sending me some interesting pictures.
Hablando de Douglas, está bien. Él estará llegando a Idaho hoy. Todo va bien en su viaje. Me ha estado mandando unas fotos interesantes.
Happy Homemaking!
¡Espero que todos tus sueños caseros se cumplan!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house. You can read about my projects on my blog www.CapeofDreams.com
I think a need a long-shot photo of the new lamp in the space to make a decision. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
You’re right. I will try to add one today.
I like the “new” lamp, but if your emotionnally attached to the other, you should keep it, in the kitchen or elsewhere. The chandelier I have above my table is from my grand-father.
I will definitely keep my grandmother’s fixture. The question is whether to put it in the kitchen or dining room. I wrote another post explaining it a little bit better. https://capeofdreams.com/what-do-you-think-que-piensas-tu/
