new light fixtures

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.

entry idea
The other day I was reading Holly Mathis’ blog and came across this image of an entry in a home she had just completed. I love the casual style. It gave me an idea for our entry, which I’ve been struggling with. The entry in this house is really long. There’s a longer wall that continues on…
builder grade bathroom makeover
I’m going to be completely honest with you. When I finished our guest bathroom makeover I had this feeling of “it’s not good enough” go through my head a few times. We don’t have special/unique tile on the floors or in the shower. I kept the builder grade light fixture (which I actually love), faucet,…
Using a Dining Table as an End Table
Thinking outside of the box is where most great ideas come from in the business world. Same applies for the home! When our new living room sofa arrived I quickly realized that the sofa’s extra depth was going to create a problem with our current end table. The table’s diameter suddenly appeared to have shrunk….
campaign desk
I’ve just been given a campaign style desk that my dad used years ago when he first started selling real estate. I’ve always loved this desk, and was beyond over the moon when it showed up at my house. There was squealing when I first got the phone call, and then jumping up and down…

kitchen lighting | which do I chose?
I’ve been trying to figure out what fixture would be a nice choice for the eat-in portion of our new kitchen. I’ve already purchased the island pendants so I know those are a go. I’ve spent way too much time going back and forth so I want to get your thoughts. Hold on to your…

Newestlove the new fixtures and they're going to look awesome in your space!
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.
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 😀
Yes, yes, yes!!
Lighting is so underrated <3
