It's a 60's something four-plex and not very pretty from the outside! Maybe some day I'll find a cute little house that I can afford to rent.

This is perfect! I bet it's lovelier than the original. I love "making do" because it means more to you when you did it yourself then when you just purchased it.

Wish I could come help hang your chandelier, but I live clear across the country and I'm a coward when it comes to electricity anyway.
