It was love at first sight, and Im thrilled that this unique light is coming home with me!!! And while our love story was a touch bumpy at first, im glad it all worked out. So here's a quick tip for all you serious buyers out there! Stay respectful, be persistent and make a real offer ( no low balls, seriously ). I saw this unique light fixture a few weeks ago and was instantly obsessed with it. Unfortunately, the dealer told me the light wasn't for sale, and literally, a piece of me died, but you knowwwww im always up for a challenge / I hate being told no. So I left, and then I came back a week later, but this time I put my own set of rules to the test, and it resulted in me walking out of the store with the pendant of my dreams for way less money than I had prepared to spend. Sometimes dealers love items just as much as you do but if you come correct, stay cool, stay calm while sharing your love for the piece; and most importantly, make a real offer, sometimes you can change their mind. And if you dont, it happens, but its worth putting up the good fight!! #antiquedealer #rulesofsalvaging #antiqueshopping #vintagebuyer #interiordesigner #irridesent
