Compromise

Last year we finally had the hardwoods done. We refinished what was there and put in more. It's beautiful. It's my favorite thing we've done to the house. While the furniture was out, we repainted the dining room. We have an incredible table & china cabinet. I have my grandmother's 70 year old Fiesta on display. We even picked out new curtains & curtain rod. But that horrible brass light fixture is still there.

When we want to buy something, especially something for the house, we have agreed to agree on it. Or we don't buy anything. That's one of the reasons we have the most horrible light fixture I have ever seen in our dining room. We're going to replace it, really. BUT, we haven't been able to find one that we both like. Our compromise in this matter is...nothing. It's still there.

We'll find it - soon - or there will just be a big hole in the ceiling for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
