A little background story for you first. When we built our house the plan was always to change out the builder grade light fixtures. I know that sounds kind of silly, but since it wasn’t a custom build we couldn’t bring in whatever light fixtures we wanted, we could only choose from what they had available. We weren’t thrilled with the options. Given that, we went with a lighting package that had bathroom vanity lights we liked and then just planned to switch everything else out over time.
Most of the fixtures have been switched out, but the one that bothered me the most was still here. The dust collecting beast in our two-story entry. Ugh. There’s no getting those glass shades clean and they keep getting worse. It drives me nuts. We’ve been waiting to change this one since it has to be hired out due to the height.
For Christmas, my husband had me a pick out a new chandelier for the entry way and I couldn’t be more ecstatic!!! So long sucka! Here’s what I chose:
Oh, and I even came across a smaller 9-light version of the new entry chandelier here for under $200 that is definitely worth sharing!
Since we’re going to have an electrician here with a massive ladder, we figured we might as well have him change out our living room fan. Now, in a perfect world, I would put up a chandelier in here. It would look AWESOME. In fact, my friend and neighbor has this one up in her living room (we have the same floor plan) and it’s jaw dropping. But, I’m an angry person when I get too hot, so a ceiling fan to help move air around in the summer is a must. The one we currently have really is perfectly fine. The bowl is another dust and dead bug collector though. The light kit on the bottom does nothing to add to the light in the room. And well, you probably know my feeling about boob lights.
Do we live in the same house? Lol! We did the same thing and chose the basic lighting package. I thought by now I would have changed the lighting, but yikes it's expensive and then add in the price of hanging from ceilings that high it's been hard to justify. I hope we'll change ours out soon too. I can't wait to see what yours looks like!
It is so expensive 🙁 I've been doing a mix of high (well, high to me) and low to keep it manageable. Still takes my breath away when I look at the prices of lighting. And then there's having to pay the electrician. Yuck. If I could shimmy my way up a two story ladder without freaking out I'd do it myself. Just not that brave 😀
You guys, I don’t even know who I am anymore. It’s October and I have yet to buy a single pumpkin! That’s ok though because I promise you it is still possible to bring the feeling of Fall to your mantel without a single pumpkin. Today I’ll show you how to create a minimal Fall…
I have a hate relationship with our storm door. First off, we live in a part of the country where it’s either freezing cold or blazing hot. You really only get a couple of storm door only days a year. And, when I’ve opened the main door on those days I’m met with, “No!!! You’re letting…
There are a bunch of different formulas you can find online about how to properly style a nightstand. Some of them work for me and others don’t. By that I mean if the perfect styling recipe calls for a tray or candle and I don’t have one that looks right, I’m not going to go…
Some of you may already be in the throws of getting your homes decked out in Christmas splendor, but there may also be some who are holding onto the last bits of Fall before diving in. Before the holiday decorating posts come rolling into your feeds a group of bloggers and I wanted to bring…
Well peeps, we have finally found a house! Ok, so technically it’s not yet a house, but it will be! We decided to go with a new build. Am I excited? Yes. Am I scared about making all the wrong decisions? You bet’cha. Here’s the entry from a house with the same floor…
When I posted the design board for Izzy’s new room, I mentioned I had already done the polka dot wall decals. I had an itch to get it done, and I didn’t want to wait for an order to come in, so I DIY’d me some polka dot wall decals! I was originally going to use…

If I can ever get the darn things up! Still waiting on an extension piece for the fan and it feels like it's taking FOREVERRRRR.
