Home Addition: Carpet and a chandelier

Real quick post to show you that we have carpeted stairs to the basement now...

 that was laid by our teammate Ryan from a high-quality remnant piece he had, saving us a couple of hundred dollars or so.

And finally, we have a dining room chandelier. I had wanted a hanging light fixture here for five years, so when the electrician was wiring the new spaces, I had him remove one of the cans and put a box for this chandelier, which Drew and I hung a couple of weeks ago.  It has its own dimmer switch to make for romantic dinners at home.
