DIY projects are not foreign to us. We've done plenty, most in our previous home. There are a few things we've tackled that were pretty intimidating. But this one? This one takes the cake.
It all started back at our old house when I told the mister that the dining room chandelier was going to be a reserve item. I was taking that baby with me. I had grand plans.......to hang it in our new dining room along with a certain ceiling medallion. The fixture in our new dining room was dinky, and I felt like our chandelier would fill the space better. Not to mention, chandeliers are $$$$, so taking it with us was thrifty!
Taking it down and packing it was no small feat.
But hanging it annnnd a ceiling medallion goes down as our hardest DIY to date. Maybe because chandeliers are heavy. Probably because our 95 year old ceiling isn't 100% level. But most likely because both of us are perfectionists.
When it was all said and done though, we were both very happy with the results....
And now if anyone needs a tutorial on how to hang a ceiling medallion, I'm your girl. Or you could get the gist from this short Flipagram......
I swear I helped! Somebody had to stop and take pictures every once in awhile.........
