Scott, That's the original location of the perfectly good chandelier that they threw away Did they over-spend on the light fitting and not leave enough to get the hole plastered up?.

Certainly not! As a matter of fact, they called me back a few months later to relocate this monstrosity by about 5" because they didn't like the spot they'd chosen originally. The 2nd time, I had to tear up the ceiling to put in bracing. They had a drywaller and a painter follow right behind me to patch it.

What I don't get is, if this is the look you want, why bother with the electricty. Wouldn't this be more impressive to the guests if they were all real candles?
I don't get the legths and expenses people will go to try to artificially recreate something that has been in existance since shortly after the wheel. I have no problem with the style shown in the picture, I just think there is an easier way to do it, and I have always thought authenticty is more impressive.

The really pathetic part of this is that there is maybe $400 worth of material involved in building that abomination, and the design is so basic that any high-school welding class kid could put it together. Hmmm, since I took welding in high school, may I should go into buisness building them. I'll only charge $5,000.00 for it!
Stupid should be painful.

Just noticed- but is that a similar light cluster unit below it, with an illuminated coffee mug? Another 10 grand I suppose. Alan.
PS Can these folks not afford any furniture?

Alan, The second photo was a Parody/Photoshop job by Thinkgood, a very talented ECN member. The furniture was yet to be discovered because as you know, you can't have just any old furniture in a place like this
