Illuminating

Mr A and I have been looking for a new light for the dining room ever since we got the new table just under a year ago.

We had in mind what we wanted; something big and industrial looking, but we've struggled to find anything (for a decent price) online.

We spotted this by chance, in B&Q on Sunday and said 'YES' straight away; it's perfect!

Poor Mr A had a couple of sleepless nights worrying about wiring it in mainly because whoever did the wiring was a moron and had his Dad on standby for this weekend.

However, last night he decided he couldn't wait and headed up into the loft space (pitch black and freezing cold!) to re route the wires.

The existing light was in a random place, so we agreed the new one should be fitted over the centre of the dining table, especially as we decided to keep the metre length of cable so the light dropped nicely over the table.

All the worrying was unnecessary, as Mr A had the job done in no time at all.

The finishing touch was added today, in the shape of the old fashioned (squirrel cage) bulb we ordered.

Mr A is quite rightly pleased with his efforts, and we both think it looks fab!
