1. And hello again!
My Martin and I will tell you how you wanted to buy a new chandelier and what came of it ...
There will be many emotions and 18 photos
2. From the previous tenants in my possession, such a chandelier was (one plane at the time of the photo had already managed to remove).
About tastes, of course, do not argue ..., but she was very annoyed. Especially in the morning, when he woke up and the first thing that came across the eyes was this nightmare.
I cherished the dream to replace it with something modern and fashionable. She began to shine shopping (real and online). The main selection criteria are:
- the presence of an E27 or E14 base for 4-6 lamps
- concise and simple design
- low price (budget, as always limited)
In addition to the selection of chandeliers, in front of me stood a big and fatty question: who will hang it to her?
By killing a bunch of time in search, I could not choose a chandelier who would completely satisfy my requirements. Well, there was no "same, but with pearl buttons."
Almost humming with the thought that you will have to buy something just close to my claims, in one morning the habit of looking at my chandelier with hatred and soldiers, suddenly thought: what if you remove all these vile miracles from her? Remove the fabulous balls, flowers and sinks? And hang just a matte glass circle?
There was immediately a way out of two provisions:
- Do not have to buy another chandelier
- Do not seek someone who will hang this new chandelier ...
3. The action plan has ripe it quickly. Having climbed closer to the chandelier, with ecstasy began to shoot annoying decorations.
4. Martin did not miss the case and immediately took possession of the treasures of Agra.
5. Several days went and contemplated the result obtained.
Very embarrassed the upper beige plate, the diameter of which was 56cm. And even by ordering the glass of 60cm diameter, I risked that this monster would hang out.
Began to think seriously, how to remove it from the design completely?
After removing the decorative nuts of the golden part, I saw that the wires on twists go through a hole in a plate, and without repolition them, I can not remove this fear from the ceiling.
Asking a friend to promote wires, a brief course on electrician and TB was received. I urged me that I can and myself cope. Squash someone else as soon as possible.
6. It was scary (I do not hide, before convulsion in the stomach), but by having gathered all the moral forces in a fist, one morning decided and turned off the stem cartridges in the shield. Overlooking the polenta, the wire twist dismissed. Both parts of the chandelier were on the floor.
So as not to forget, recorded: what color is the wire, answered what function.
7. It was decided to dare to be distracted (it was simply bad from the fear, I was afraid to fall from the stepladder) to replace the outlet in another room (how to do it explained the same friend). She was long collapsed and simply dangerous.
8. The faithful Martin immediately ran to the rescue. Lie next to support.
9. Slipping something, shining something, stuffed in the nest in the wall.
10. Screwd the panel. Looks like the truth. Wow! I am proud of myself (a little later it turned out that the socket works).
11. Returned to the chandelier. Terminal blocks were bought in advance. I got into them to screw the wires. I wanted to change the scatter of the lamps on the switches - it was 5/1, intended to do 3/3.
12. Screw the wires from the ceiling into the pads.
13. Spinned decorative nuts.
14. Martin on pickup, morally helps.
15. Matte glass to order with holes (1180r.) Naked. I turn on the tumblers. Click switch ...
WORKS! Enable on each key of 3 lamps. So I did everything right.
16. Another view. It will be necessary to buy a lamp to buy.
17. Disabled.
And everything seems to be all, you can be happy, but gold shines through the glass. And in this room, everything is gray-silver in this room ... My perfectionism shouts and does not allow to live quietly. Probably I will paint white.
Silvering at home.
18. Many people now agree: "So many campaigns, for the sake of full garbage ... I bought a new chandelier and did not steamed, and it was necessary to throw it out ..."
But, my friends, but what about sports interest? Since I got involved in this event, then you need to finish the victorious.
Surely, a lot made incorrectly, but it's not very painful. I am for the first time ...
