An ongoing blog following a young married couple as they renovate their railroad apartment in Brooklyn, New York and a crazy falling down farmhouse up in the Catskills. Both husband and wife work full-time jobs each day, so almost all of their projects will be squeezed into any free second each night and every weekend. Hence the name: After-Dinner Design, though come to think of it, maybe we should change it to "So Tired Design"...)

Well within my budget...
I'm currently working on a project out in East Hampton where we're making a dated 1960's beach house into a clean, modern home.
The reason this pertains to us/me is that in the midst of this modernization, my client gave this sweet brass-and-glass light fixture the heave-ho, and when I mentioned that I thought it was charming and deserved another chance, it went from her trash to my treasure!
Ha-zah! Free to me! My favorite price tag!
Fast forward a couple of weekends and now it's hanging gloriously in my upstairs hallway-- sitting there like it's exactly where it should have been hanging all these years. It's looking just as sharp as can be, along with my ever-growing collection of maps and my sultry red walls.
Couldn't be more pleased-- so a big shout out goes to my generous client for sending it my way and another major thanks goes out to John for putting up that light after a long day of paneling! What a trooper. What a hero. What an endlessly patient fella. Hooray!!
