Many thanks to the nice guys at Wow Antiques in Richmond for the new chandelier for our puja room. The glass chandelier which came with the house, below left, was not fitting for the house's Colonial Georgian style. Wanting to help us in our efforts to restore the house, the guys from Wow traded us this very special period appropriate, silver chandelier, below right. They practically gave us this beautiful fixture from their Richmond store where they were asking $1750 for it. The chandelier is perhaps a little fancy for a farm house like this, but perfect for our prayer room, since we are decorating in the height of formal colonial style. My Guru always said that the puja room should be the most beautiful and ornate room in a house. By grace, our restoration project is moving along beautifully.
