It has been a while since the last posting, but this is not as a result of a lack of projects around here so please enjoy project #1: lighting
As you can see above, this was our latest set up in the dining room. The table came with us from the apartment as did the chairs, and the lamp was a new addition right when we moved in (replacing a really ugly gaudy chandelier that was left here by the previous owner).
PHASE ONE: DEMO
Around here, we get really amped up to cut new holes in our ceiling.....at this point in the project, my role is to sit off to the side with a glass of wine and watch the magic happen. We took down the old light and then cut 2 holes on either side to accommodate 3 new lanterns that I had bought.
As you can see, new holes and now working on getting the wiring straightened out......
lights installed, now to see if all of the wiring and our newly installed dimmer switch was going to work....
Works great and makes a huge difference in the look of our dining room (all for under $150) You can also see the new table that we bought at Crate and Barrel with all of the wedding gift cards (thanks!)
more lighting projects on our next post, soon to come!
