Chandelier Remorse?

If you read my last post you know that I found a fantastic chandelier at a thrift store.

I usually don't ever suffer from "buyer's remorse" but I started to wonder if I was crazy for getting it:

1} We are in Seattle for only the summer while my husband is doing an internship for grad school; we fit    everything we brought in our car, and we used every spare inch of available space, so I have to figure out how to get it back home

2} We are still renting a home at least for the next year until my husband graduates and we know where we are moving to...

3} This means that I don't even have a place I can hang it yet, which means it's going to be sitting in a box in our basement for at least the next year 

4} On top of all this, my husband came home from work and told me that I was a topic of discussion during his lunch break with a bunch of guys from the company.

[I went to the thrift store with 2 of my friends whose husbands go to the same school and are interning at the same company as my husband.]

Quick recap of lunchtime conversation:

 "Soooo, I heard your wife came home with a chandelier..."

Hubby's response, so matter-of-factly: "Yup!"

This caught everyone else's attention..."Wait, your wife bought a chandelier?!?"

Again, "Yup!"

"...And you're okay with that?!?"

Hubby: "Oh yeah."

"So you own a house back home that you're going to put it in?"

"Nope. We're still renting."

"So your wife bought a chandelier that you have to take back home with you and you don't even have a place to put it?!?"

"Yup."

"So...does it look cool? What does it look like?"

"I dunno, I haven't seen it yet." (he got home late)

"Wait, so your wife bought a chandelier and you didn't even ask to see it or care what it looks like?!?"

"Nope. I trust her."

Then he proceeded to tell them about this

 And told them he wasn't worried...and I would eventually do something cool with it.

I was laughing hysterically as he told me this story

He thought it was pretty funny also, and had a great time feeding the frenzy and getting the others all worked up.

I'm pretty sure his coworkers think I'm some sort of crazy...

Side note: How awesome is my husband? It totally doesn't even phase him when I come home with giant chandeliers...

So, I decided to do a little online research.

I set out to see if this chandelier was still available to purchase new.

I wanted to see how much it was, or at least ones similar.

I found it!

 {okay, google found it}

The EXACT same one!!!

Wanna know the price?
Here, let me show you:

That's right, the exact same chandelier I got for only $10 bucks is still selling for $464.20!
Say Whaaaaaaaaat?!?!!!!
I feel great about my purchase again!
{even if I can't use it right away...}


Have you ever felt "buyer's remorse"?
