Do you keep a "Honey Do List"??
I do - and I must say the hubs is pretty good about crossing things off the list.
He can do anything and everything, seriously, if he tells me something can't be done,
I know it can be and he just doesn't want to.
32 years ago, when we moved in to this house, I put something on the "Honey Do List"
and it remained there until this past weekend.
- True Story -
The light and mirror in the master bathroom were never installed properly.
When the mirror was cut and installed,
the contractors did not leave enough room on the top of it to fit the light fixture.
When the electrician came and realized it, he just installed the light on the slopped ceiling.
- yikes -
The light was ugly and the installation was hideous.
For 32 years I have been asking the hubs to fix it and he said it could not be done,
yet I knew it could.
It took a lot of encouragement, and explaining to him over and over what I thought would work.
Last winter he promised to do it and it never got done, but this winter he was on it.
I also wanted a frame around the ugly mirror and he did that as well.
Doesn't it look great?
The light is mounted on the frame around the mirror.
I LOVE the new light, hanging in the right spot...
and the frame, nice chunky wood,
with perfectly mitored corners.
One more time, I am thrilled with how it looks now!
He's amazing, there's nothing he can't do.
He wanted credit on the blog - I think that's enough, don't you?
hehehehe

Hello, Debbie. the new light and framed mirror look beautiful. Your hubby did a great job. My hubby is not the handy dandy type. Thankfully my son is and can help us out. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
Definitely a great job! Well done - it all looks smart and professionally installed. Totally due full time bloggie credit!!
p.s. love the decorated light switch panels - so pretty :D)
I laughed about this one being on your list for 32 years! Better late than never - and it looks awesome. Some things are worth the wait!
The result is worth the waiting. Your hubby is a precious gem, not all man are handy. He did a beautiful job with the mirror frame and the lights.
I have some projects here in Tampa, when he finds some extra time on his hands . . .
The hubs did a great job! 32 years, you have more than me, I wIted 12 for my tile around my tub love our men! Lol he did do a great job the trim work is beautiful, the corners are perfect. I love the reflection of the light in the mirror, very pretty! Debbie, I would guess that you picked it it? Love it!
It is fantastic!!! Hubs did a great job.
Wow, excellent work hubby, and it just goes to show there's usually a very smart woman along side every hubby! Bravo team!
It's handy to be handy, says one who isn't. Sadly.
Thanks for your encouraging notes.
Good for Chuck!!! It looks fantastic Debbie. I love the frame. I have asked Ron about framing our mirror, I will have to show him yours. It looks like a brand new bathroom.
Great job!
Beautiful work -- it really does make a difference. I'm also lucky enough to have a husband who can do pretty much anything and everything -- although now that we have been married nearly 60 years, he's slowed down a bit -- but then so has my to-do list ;>).
Debbie!
Your husband did a great job.
Lighting and frame look fantastic.
I really like.
Greetings.
NICE!!! Nothing like fixing that ONE thing that's been bugggggging you! Really pretties up the spot!
Credit where credit is due, and I think hubs has done a wonderful job.
The lighting and frame look great.
You two are a great team!
All the best Jan
Speechless.
Debbie this is really, really beautiful. I just love those lights, and the mirror frame is simply perfection.
Yup, amazing just about sums it up.
P.S. Hubby will get his own comment. :-)
The speed at which your husband completed this task sounds like the speed of my own husband! lol
WAY TO GO, CHUCK!!!
I think it was worth waiting 32 years for.
Seriously, you did a beautiful job here. So, so nice.
Great job, Chuck!
It all looks wonderful.
Nope, no honey do list here, more like a do it yourself or it will never happen. Lol
Xoxo

That's a job well done.The new light is lovely.
Work is good. Looks lovely. Great job :)
those ice sculptures are AMAZING!
i don't know how they do it!
thanks for sharing!
be blessed
My hubby is the same way, he can fix just about everything but it is getting him to do it, my light fixture is exactly the same but is just fine in the bathroom but I have the same type mirror and ever since I have seen them with frames around them I have thought that would be really cool to have. Glad you finally have it off your to do list and I guess we should let him know that he did an AWESOME JOB!!! ;) Looks terrific and like the updated light fixture too!
Very nicely done! It looks great!
Isn't it fun renovating?! I love the photos.
What a truly talented husband you have; I am so impressed with him. The mirror and lights are fantastic; just beautiful I could say! It looks like it lightened up your bathroom, also. How fun to get such a great re-do. I love it when you can get a honey do wiped of your list. Hugs for you both!
