You’ve fallen in love. It’s gorgeous, impressive, and amazing. A deer antler chandelier is the one thing that many of us can’t live without. Your design style reaches new heights with the splendor of the arching antlers, the twinkling lights all dangling overhead. Of course, there are a few options in installation and decisions to make! Here’s a few tips.

1. Measure everything. First, do the floor to ceiling, and then find the tallest person in the household’s height. You’ll need these to make sure that your chandeliers aren’t going to be knocked into frequently.
2. Balance is key. Your room’s feel, atmosphere, even cabin couture will get thrown off if you place your chandelier inadequately.
3. Make sure your ceiling has the support for the chandelier. Are you putting in new wiring as well? This is a good time to examine your ceiling supports.
4. Pick the right antlers for your home. There are many choices, with the smaller whitetail chandeliers and larger mule deer chandeliers, as well as elk, moose and other antler options.
5. The best place for a chandelier is immediately centered with an opening, such as a door or window. This frames the chandelier fixture, allowing it to be admired from as far as outside the home or just upon entering your house.

Men, there’s nothing more impressive than a well worded toast, especially on Valentine’s Day. There are many ways to go with your toast. It can be funny, romantic, nostalgic, etc. Here are a few toasts you can tip your horse wine glasses to on February 14th.

• “All love stories are beautiful, but only ours take the blue ribbon in my mind.”
• “While every race must come to end, love stories like ours never end, never call a winner.”

Of course you can also quote an inspired writer or artist in your toast. Start off with, “The great [insert name here] said..” and try one of these quotes.

• Looking for something unknown? Try Antoine de Saint-Exupery from Wind, Sand, and Stars, “Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction. “
• Want something simple? Quote Aristotle with, “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”
• For something funny, try one from Mark Twain. “I am only too proud of the chance to help with this the only Valentine I venture to write this day — for although I am twain in my own person I am only half a person in my matrimonial form, and sometimes my wife shows that she is so much better and nobler than I am, that I seriously question if I am really any more than about a quarter!”
• For an impressive speech use Thomas Hood. “Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!”

Then finish the toast with “and that’s how I think of our love. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Clink horse wine glasses and make it so.
