Before and After: Bedroom Chandelier

More cause for celebration.  The chandelier in my bedroom is GORN!


Before:

After:

Even though my spanking orb emerged from the box with a dent, a dodgy silver cap on top to stop bugs falling in, and the most stupid design in all of Christendom as far as changing blown bulbs is concerned, it remains such a vast improvement that I'm not even going to mention the down-sides.

And the main thing now is that it doesn't collapse when the humid weather comes next summer.

Hanging about. The Sequel

While I was tidying today, I unwrapped a significant artwork:  Milo's first painting.  

It needed to go up and the place for it was a no-brainer.  So I whipped out the hammer drill and behold...

The first picture is hung.

Before:

After: 

Milo's painting is on the left.  The painting to the right of
the clock is a watercolour study by Ma of which I am
particularly fond.

This probably isn't the final configuration, of course, but at least we're on our way.  And the hanging hoodoo is banished.

And for sake of demonstrating, this is where my workspace started, and where its going.

Before:

After:

I've thrown a few things on the shelves without
a clue, a plan, or indeed, a roadmap. 

Stay tuned for the next evolutionary phase, Charles Darwin.
