::Andrea 1, Jim's Place 1

Took off last Friday to head over to the Jim's Place sale. I was going to pick up a pair of Chippendale arm chairs to put on the ends of my awesome new table! Alas, fate was not on my side and my $100 per chair max could not cover the $200 per chair they were asking. Oh well, I tried. At least it was fun walking around the building one last time before they're closed up for good.

Not all was lost, however, as an impromtu trip out to Arlington found us at another "estate" sale. This is where I scored a Pottery barn pendant light for $20!! I had seen this online and knew how much they were going for. Yah, I had to get it. 2 drawbacks?


1- the glass is a bit chipped at the bottom and a bit dirty


2- some of the mounting hardware was no where to be found


Both problems were nothing I couldn't live with. $20 later and a trip to the hardware store I have this:


She is either going to live over my kitchen sink or in the guest bathroom over the shower. I have a few more cleaning products to try on the glass and it's still a bit dingey, but for $20...I'm sold!
