a little impulsive chandelier shopping

Who doesn’t go impulse shopping for chandeliers on the internet in the middle of the night?

I sure do!

Last Thursday evening, I set out to do some updates to my blog. Amazingly enough, I somehow ended up at HomeDepot.com. Strange how those things happen.

Ultimately my e-wanderings took me to the chandelier page where I came upon this beauty…

How breathtaking! It’s perfect for my living/dining room! It’s the Progress Lighting Berkley Collection Oxford Silver 3-light Chandelier. Better yet, it was on sale for $50, plus free shipping. And the sale was ending at midnight.

It was late, my resolve burned out at least 3 hours earlier, and I had my debit card by my side.  A perfect storm.  The recipe for an impulsive chandelier purchase!

SOLD!

I decided that I would paint it a metallic champagne to match the living/dining room.  Nothing more to say, right?

Wrong.

On Friday Ijust had to share my amazing find with a friend at work. So I pulled up the webpage and I was shocked to see that the chandelier was no longer on sale for $50, but had gone down to $35.96!

ACK!

I promptly called HomeDepot.com’s customer service and they were happy to give me an adjustment to the new sale price!  I was now down to Craigslist prices! Woo hoo!

Now I’m just waiting to receive it.  The champagne metallic spray paint has already been purchased. I am project ready!  I’ll share the details as soon as I have chandelier in hand.
