Casa de Jefe.

The Jefe’s mother recently moved out of the house in which he grew up.  As rarely happens with families, one of the things he wanted most was one that no one else had any desire for – in fact his mom couldn’t stand it.  He took the fixture down, cleaned it, rewired it all the way through, and stored it in a box along with an afghan made by his mom.  When we moved into this house he pretty much let me set things up the way I wanted, but one request was that we be able to hang the chandelier over the dining room table.  It was a request I was only too happy to grant.  In person, the subtle colors over the metal are really warm and the whole thing has a great patina thanks to the gentleness of his cleaning.  It suits the room so well, and I love having his family here, too.
