Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

It’s here!!!! The chandelier has arrived!!!! And I’m completely blown away:
Beautiful with light:
But also without:
It transforms the large open space into a sculptural feature. The only thing I’m not 100% happy with is that the upper, smallest ring doesn’t shine downward. That was the lighting designer’s suggestion: the bottom ring only shines down, the top only up, and the middle shines both ways—otherwise, it would have been too bright. But when it’s lit and you look from below, it somehow looks like the top one is broken, and maybe the three concentric rings would have looked better if the top one also shone downward.
But that’s just nitpicking... Overall, I’m totally amazed!
The other installed lights are really just a minor note now...
The ones for the dining table:
They’re still wrapped and now placed back on the gallery to keep them out of the workers’ way.
And the staircase has its spotlights:
Now the electrician is taking a break until the kitchen island is in place and the mirrors are installed.
