Lighting - Introduction

Our homes decor was stuck in the 80's when we moved in.  Brass was everywhere - curtains, light fixtures, faucets, door handles.  Every. Single. Room.

Before

TL - Dining and Hallway 

TR - Outside Lights

BL - Master Light

BR - Guest Bath

So we've been slowly updating (and spray painting).  The biggest change was putting a ceiling fan in the living room, where nothing had been before!  However, the funnest change was putting in the new chandeliers.  In the top left picture you can see the glorious old dining room chandelier and the matching hall light.  I was able to sell those on a resale site!

Before

Top - Nook

Bottom - Family Room

So far we've updated the main areas of the house.  Not a single 'UFO' bedroom light fixture has been changed.  The three guest room will get ceiling fans but we cannot put one in the master at it's current location.  Picking a 4 post bed has its drawbacks occasionally....darn it.

Some Afters:

TL: Nook

TR: Dining Table

BL: Kitchen Sink Pendant

BR: Hallway

The Nook and Dining room are from this set from Home Depot.  The pendant was a Black Friday deal from Home Depot as well.  I've seen it in the store many times but I cannot locate it on their website now.  Spray paint is my new best friend.  I've spray painted curtain rods, door knobs, light fixtures, and on and on and one.  It's the fastest way to make a change!
