The hallway is about 3/4 done... it's been stripped and primed and is ready for a color. Now I just have to go pick one. Dave did a fantastic job replacing that old light. If you've ever been to our house you know that the hallway is like 3 feet shorter than all the surrounding rooms. I'm not really sure why - but it does make for an interesting little crawl space in the attic. The light in the hallway was a weird looking mini chandelier... and had about 30 years of dust and mold on the top of it, stuck between the light and the ceiling.
GROSS. I did take off the jewels and save them... they might come in handy for an art project!
What we replaced that old light with was a normal looking globe. I am truly amazed by what Dave did to get that light ON. There were actually 8 wires coming out of the ceiling. We have no idea what 7 of them do... but we know one is for the light and it works just fine!! What should have been an easy project ended up taking all day - but I think the emd result is worth it.
In our travels I also came across something intersesting... I found an old Ad in a magazine for OUR OVEN. I'm not talking about our type of oven - but OUR EXACT OVEN!!! Take a look - it's called the Americana...
And this is my stove that I cook on every night.
I actually know it's an ad for our oven because our oven actually says Americana on the front. But isn't that funny? Dave did not find the humor in it. He thought it was incredibly depressing that we had such old appliances. I thought it was quite telling of what 1970 was like, when the previous owner had decorated. Obviously Mrs. Hackel opted for the brown model... not the turquoise. Look how happy that wife is. Amazing. I definitely don't look like that when I am stirring up a big pot of chilli...
