| I got this pretty chandelier from my friend Mark that owns Warehouse 55 a great vendor shop near me. |
 |
| Mark has a great collection of chandeliers throughout the shop. This was from his personal collection and he let me buy it from him. I thought it would be great over my faux fireplace and mirror. |
 |
| It is very pretty lit at night. |
 |
| Progress is coming along in the kitchen with opening the wall up. We covered that ugly pipe with wood to make a column. My chippy bird house arrived and my Antique sign. I will be making that signed part of the back of the island and will frame it out pretty. The birdhouse will sit on a corbel hopefully on the post to bring a little bling to the post. The long plank will be part of the top of the new island. I have some half chippy posts that you can almost see in the lower right corner that will be made into part of the island too. Hope to get this done this weekend and will have it to show you. I am loving all the light and air flow into the kitchen with the opening to the kitchen made bigger. One more request from you blogging prayer warriors. Prayers please for my SIL. He had a seizure last Saturday for the first time in his life while out cutting the grass. Neighbors walking by found him not breathing on the side of their home. God puts the right people in our paths when we need them most. He has been in the hospital having every test under the sun run to find out why. Nothing has come back to indicate why he had this seizure. The neurologist is thinking maybe with him coming off shift from the fire department where he got little sleep with running emergency calls all night. Being tired, drinking a lot of coffee, a monster drink and going out in the heat to mow the lawn could have been the cause. They just are not sure. I am happy all the tests are negative for anything serious for a cause of a seizure. He is home now and recouping and seeing the neurologist tomorrow to see what they will say about him returning to his job. With him being a firefighter/paramedic he may not be able to drive for months. Prayers please that he can resume his job and this was an isolated incident. Life can change on a dime my friends. Have a great rest of this week and good weekend. I cannot wait to show you the final kitchen re do. Hugs, Kris |

My heart is with you and SIL ~
ReplyDeleteLove the chandelier, and so sorry about your SIL I am praying
ReplyDeleteJust prayed for your SIL❤
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're tired of all your moves over the past few years but, personally, I've loved watching you put your special touch on each of the homes. This one is a definite favorite, and I love that you thought of making that kitchen opening ... what a difference! Debbie in Oregon
The Chandi is extra beautiful. Wow.!!! So sorry about your SIL, and hopefully it was like you said a one-time thing. I do not think those high energy drinks are healthy. Take care and keep us posted. Your home is so Dreamy..x0x0
ReplyDeleteSo right. Life can change on a dime. Your beautiful HOME is coming right along. It's fun to see what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty chandelier and kitchen progress is looking wonderful...
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. The same thing happened to a young adult friend of our family...she drank some Mountain Dews then an energy drink and she had a seizure! She no longer consumes caffeine. I hope that they find this is the same scenario with your SIL and nothing else underlying.
xoxo
The chandelier is gorgeous. And the light in the kitchen must be welcome.
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law had the same type of seizure - unknown cause. Unfortunately they would not let him drive for 6 months.
The chandelier and the antique sign are crazy cool. I love your finds. I should hire you as my personal chippy cottage style shopper! You know you have my prayers for your SIL and the entire family. xxoo
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that happened to your SIL. Hopefully it's just a one time thing and he'll be fine. Prayers of course.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! Hope this was just a momentary thing and not a lifelong condition. Prayers on the way. Your chandelier is stunning and that sign will look so fabulous!! Have a nice weekend Kris xoxox
ReplyDeleteHello dearest friend,
ReplyDeleteI love how Terry was able to create a box pillar. It looks SO good and is a great way to cover up a pole! The chandelier looks marvelous in front of the mirror and I bet it IS gorgeous at night. May all go well for your entire family. Thank God that they didn't find any serious cause for the seizure. This heat is unbearable.
Will pray for your son-in-law and his swift and complete recovery. Hopefully it was a one time thing with the factors you mentioned mixed in.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on the kitchen. The sign will be perfect for the back of the island.
Enjoy your weekend. Back in the 90's here. xoxo
The chandelier looks stunning, especially with all the greenery behind it. Can't wait to see the final reveal of the kitchen, and the column - looks like you have some creative (pretty!) solutions, as always! Most importantly, prayers for your SIL and all the family.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your SIL. xo
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is looking so good. I love the changes. I knew you and Terry would make it great.
The chandlier is my favorite piece. LOVE. Love.
What a relief the tests for serious causes have come back negative! I will continue to pray this was an isolated incident.
ReplyDeleteAs for your kitchen, it’s going to be so nice! Love the sign and bird house! And ooo, the chandelier over your faux fireplace! Just beautiful!! How nice your friend let you buy it out of his personal collection. It’s perfect for your space!
Hugs,
Cecilia
First, I'll keep your SIL in my thoughts. Sounds like he was in overdrive by the time he was mowing the lawn. Your chandelier is gorgeous! Must be nice to now be surrounded by so many pretties! What you've decided for the unexpected pole is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Beautiful chandy adds some bling. Love the openness of the kitchen. Everything is coming together beautifully. Prayers for your SIL.how scary to experience this and not know why. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your chandelier! And you hung it in such a beautiful spot making it such a great focal point. So sorry about your SIL and I will keep him in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteKathleen
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is so scary! Gosh, I hope it was an isolated incident and he'll be perfectly fine. I'll keep him in my thoughts, Kris. Your chandelier is so pretty! Looking forward to seeing the kitchen wall reveal.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris....Hoping everything turned out well for your SIL. Prayed for good reports, and peace for all of you.
ReplyDeleteYour chandelier over the mantel looks beautiful!! I can only imagine how it must look at night in that room! LOVE that Antique sign for the kitchen! You guys are amazing!
Have a great weekend. xxoo
Hi Kris, I love that chandelier and the antique sign and birdhouse. Great to see that the problem is being solved. Once again, Terry and his box of tools to the rescue! I really hope that there will be a good outcome with your SIL and that he will be able to return to his job, in due course. I will of course, keep the prayers going for him. Hugs, Gilly
ReplyDeleteWow, what a pretty chandelier! You may have just started a new fad! The kitchen is coming along great, and I like your sign.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you son in law. Very scary situation. Prayers that this was an isolated incident.
I love the placement of your fireplace. Perfect. Also wondering about your large antique sign. Is it from Liz Marie and how did you have it printed. Many of us are lifting up your SIL in prayer as well as your daughter. She will need them too.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela,
DeleteI got the sign on a site called Walls of wisdom. Liz Marie has one that she bought from a lady at the market show a few years ago. This site makes them in any size. They have a lot of cool signs so go and visit them. You can click on the Walls of Wisdom and it will take you to their site. Have a good weekend. xoxo Kris
This is going to look fabulous! Love the new sign and bird house and how you plan to use them and other pieces in this transformation! The new chandelier is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePrayers continuing for your son in law. Tell him no more Monster drinks! I swear those things are dangerous! I pray they can find the cause and that he never has another one! Love and hugs to all!
I am loving that chandelier and can not wait to see the kitchen. I love the accessories!! Praying for your SIL.
ReplyDeleteIf you drink a monster drink too fast you can have swallow syncope and pass out. I wonder if that had something to do with it? It’s a multifactorial situation. I just prayed for him.
ReplyDeleteI love love love your chandelier.
Thank you Susan. I wish they would band those drinks. He was up all night running calls and was tired and drank that and Starbucks to keep going to cut the grass. Not a good combo. We are hoping that was the cause since everything else is negative. xoxo
DeleteRight. It sounds like a freak thing that won’t happen again. He needs rest. Praying for him!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you've found so many pretties for your condo because you deserve it after the week you've had! I love everything, especially the chandy and the sign. That sign is so you! I love where you're putting it, too.
ReplyDeleteyou are a former RN right? I think the neurologist is correct. Amazing what those monster drinks, coffee, lack of sleep, and the boiling hot sum can do to us. God Bless his neighbors for finding him and helping
ReplyDeleteHe will be in my prayers this week-end.
... men, they do not hydrate properly, loading up of coffee and sugar drinks. My hubbs comes in drained and I immediately hand him the water. and sit, and a shower. I am relieved to know that the tests so far show nothing alarming
❣️❣️ Oh, and the apartment is looking absolutely beautiful. I love the open kitchen and the chandelier Lovely💎💎❤️
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteOh My, so sorry to hear about your SIL, but so glad he is home from the hospital and seems to be fine. Thank the Lord he sent those people by....have been praying just didn't know what about, but will continue to pray this was just an isolated incident,
and hope he gets good news when he goes back to the Doctor.
Like the sounds of your new plans for the opening in your kitchen and can't wait to see it finished, as I am sure it will look awesome. Also love your chandy....it looks so pretty. What a fun place to shop. Well, have a good week and praying for good news next week about your sil.
Love and Blessings,
Nellie
Sending out lots of good vibes & prayers for your SIL and Daughter. Hang onto family close with lots of love,it changes so very quickly.❤
ReplyDeleteI love it all especially the sign and the chandelier. Are the posts from your cottage?
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing them, I thought?
You know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs
Cindy
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI like the chandelier. I am excited to see the kitchen. Good Luck!
FANTASTIC NEWS ... that your SIL is feeling better. I am praying he continues to heal and feel well. Love and Prayers!!
Oh goodness Kris, sending prayers for your sil and the entire family. So scary. Praying for a good outcome for him! Your chandelier is so sweet, but let's talk about your kitchen! I am so looking forward to seeing what you all do - all your "parts" look gorgeous so far. Jane
ReplyDeleteThe chandelier is beautiful, Kris, and I love the direction you're taking with the kitchen. Can't wait to see your island in all its glory. :) Glad to know your SIL is home now. Continued prayers for him and your family. Hugs.
ReplyDeletePraying for SIL. I really don't not like those drinks. We visited a church in East Texas. The pastor out there drank one and had a stroke. They are terrible. Hopefully, this is an isolated incident and he can get back to work. Love the sign. Opening up the kitchen is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love that gorgeous chandelier Kris. The kitchen looks great opened up a bit to bring in some more light. I can't wait to see how it looks finished. Praying for your SIL. Take care Kris.
ReplyDeleteKris, I am so behind in my visits but I love the new chandy. It is really beautiful and I bet it is exquisite at night. Hope your SIL is doing better and hopefully has gotten some answers..What a change in your kitchen area. I love it..Happy Tuesday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Thoughts and prayers are with your SIL and family.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your projects and the gorgeous chandy!!
Kris,
ReplyDeleteThe chandy is amazing and I can not wait to see how the kitchen comes out which i am sure you can't wait for too!! LOL!! I am so sorry to hear about your SIL...Thank Goodness everything is coming back normal..Maybe an electrolyte imbalance??? BUT I do know that could effect him being able to drive for some time to come which will be a hardship.....Sending prayers and hugs to you and your whole family...Keep us posted please!!
Hugs,
Deb
So funny- I just left a comment on your earlier post about the kitchen and told you what we did with the support thing and you did the same thing. lol. Great minds! I love that it lets light into your kitchen and we get some with the opening, too. I do wish I had a kitchen window for the extra light though. These interior kitchens are too dark.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I am praying for Tim & Jen. Life is just full of unexpected things! UGH. xo Diana
PS. That chandy is amazing!!!!! I love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteKris, so sorry your SIL had that weird seizure! Sounds like he was pushing himself way too hard. Hopefully, it was just a bad combination of things that did it. Hope he is continuing to improve with no lasting side effects.
ReplyDeleteLove the chandelier and amazed that it lights up!
