Installing French Chandeliers in our Apartment House Renovation
Today’s video is short and exciting! I have been waiting for this day for a long time. As our Reno continues having our French chandeliers installed makes me so happy.
We decided to let the electrician get on with it, I did want to stay to see every thing put up lol there’s one more I have to show you and of course all the other lighting. I look forward to showing you in the next video.
Thanks for watching! X

It still looks 🥰
