We are currently on the downhill slide of our current DIY Home Improvement Project. The last major project was our DIY Addition so this was the perfect time to change some things and give the house a fresh new look.
In addition to the staircase update's our entry also desperately needed a new Light Fixture. The current one was installed during the new construction in the early 80’s and served us well, however, it was definitely time to pick out something new (and easier to keep clean!).
It was hard to decide what to choose so I used app’s from the different lighting stores to try out all sorts of styles. It was easy to use and I could superimpose all types of fixtures and even save them to look again later, which I did.
Many different chandeliers were tried.
However, nothing seemed just right.
So I kept looking and tried just about everything, it seemed, but nothing quite fit our space or my check list. So, the search continued.
Meanwhile, the hubs kept moving forward on the update and completed the painting in the hard to reach places while he had the scaffolding. About the same time we stopped by another lighting store and found something we thought might work! We were not completely sure it was the right style or size however we ordered it anyway. This fixture had not been superimposed like the others so we were just going on old fashioned common sense, you might say, and trusting our instincts. Yikes!
It was not at all what I had envisioned however once it was hung it seemed just right.
The scaffolding was still in the entry which made installation safe and easy.
It looked like just the right size for our entry. ✅
It also looked nice with the new staircase… ✅
…and fit the space. ✅
It was a keeper!! WooHoo!
Also, cleaning and maintenance will be much easier with this open, iron style.
The scaffolding came down and the project was finally ready to move forward again. Slowly but surely, our DIY Home Update is coming together however there are still some things that need to be finished so I will be back with more updates soon.
Happy Wednesday!
