So about a week ago, we went to Home Depot for some landscaping items. We popped by the lighting section just for funsies and came home with three ceiling fans and a vanity light. I swear home improvement stores are the only place we impulse buy, but when you impulse buy there it's a bit more pricey than a candy bar or whatever other unnecessary item we might decide to spring for. I can't say I regret the decision at all. Upgrading the lighting in the house was definitely next on my list. (Well, painting was next, but getting Alton to paint is like pulling teeth, so that will be a drawn-out process I'm sure.) Anyway, here's the good part.
Before and After: Living Room
Before and After: Craft Room
I don't have a before of the office because Alton took it down while I was at work, but it was essentially the same as the old one in the craft room. The after is the fan that used to reside in the master bedroom, so this next photo is both a before (master) and an after (office).
And here's the new master bedroom fan. I'm thinking we will probably go with a sort of modern zen feel in there. Inspiration board to come.
There's also no before photo of the vanity light in the hall bathroom due to Alton's eagerness, but you can see it in some previous posts if you've forgotten about its golden-hued horribleness. Here is the new one:
The new vanity light needed to be placed higher than the old one, so there is currently a hole in the wall above the mirror filled with wires that needs to be patched:
I'm really hoping the hall bath will be the next thing to be painted. I'm sure we could knock the whole room out in a weekend if we would just get to it already.
