New Lights!

I've finally picked out some light to replace some of the awful old ones in the house. I am on a mission to eradicate all brass in this place. This was a small step, anyway.

This light was in both the bedroom and the hallway.

This lovely floral chandelier has four painted flowers - each a different shade.

I won't be missing it!

This is what I bought. I love this capiz shell pendant from West Elm. It is a plug-in fixture, so for now, I'm going to hang it in the bedroom over the chair in the corner. I don't see why it couldn't be converted to hard wire sometime in the future if I want to put it elsewhere. It went on sale last week and I decided that I just had to have it.

This is the light that The Man and I finally decided on. Its ridiculously hard to find something we both like that isn't way too expensive. We finally stumbled on this one at, of all places, Home Depot. It wasn't available and I found it for a better price at Bellacor. They were on sale too, and the shipping was free. They said 2 - 4 weeks, but it came in less than a week. Pleasant surprise!

This is what we're putting in the bedroom. Its also from Bellacor.

These pictures are really lousy, but its gray and blah here today, as it has been way too often lately! I still need to get a hook put up over the chair, so this is where its hanging for now, just so I can look at it!

These lights are bigger than I thought I wanted, but almost all of the lights I've looked at are. It has two sockets, at any rate, and really brightens up the kitchen.

I actually think that the size fits just fine. Yay! I still have to get The Man to hang up the bedroom fixture. We can't possibly do everything at once, you know.....
