New Foyer Light

So, after two years of looking at this ugly foyer light......(sorry this was THE only picture I have of the light and it was from when we were house shopping and not really intended to be a 'before' picture of the light. The morning we replaced it was crazy hectic and I didn't get to do a good 'before' photo.)

And after one year of owning a new foyer light that sat in its box in the basement.....we FINALLY got some scaffolding in the foyer and put up our new light. To be honest I did settle for this new light because I could not find something that I truly loved...and let's just say that my husband is not the biggest fan of heights and I am not the biggest fan of watching him hang a light on a tiny piece of scaffolding that is only about as wide as he is. SO I think we'll keep her for a while...

Chandelier Make-Over

I hope everyone's Christmas was amazing! I will hopefully have time to edit some more pictures of the girls for you all soon. Usually by this time after Christmas I am well into my seasonal depression....having to take down all of the pretty decorations. But this year I am looking forward to getting started on  a bunch of projects around the house. Hopefully, the kitchen will be first. For now I am going to enjoy a few more days of Christmas lights and yes, Maddie and I are still watching Christmas movies!

Here is a quick old project I can share with you...
When we moved into our house two years ago I decided to replace the existing light fixture with one we kept from our old house. I then did a little make-over on the old dining room light to use in our kitchen. Here is a really bad picture of it before. 

I then scratched it up with some sand paper and sprayed it with Rustoleum spray paint. The color is called heirloom white and the sheen is satin. I purchased the small lamp shades from Lowes and viola!
