Let There Be Light!

I know this isn't directly baby related but...

We have a few house projects we want to finish up before we start working on the nursery. Finding a new dining room light has been at the top of the list. We have had company over to dine in the dark (true story) twice in the last 4 months without a light fixture in there. Every time I started to look for one I would get overwhelmed, not like anything I saw, and couldn't quite put my finger on what style I wanted in there.

A few months ago while in Lowes I came across this little light. I really liked it because it was about the right size, put off enough light, and was different. I moved on once again because I was being so picky about it.

 Well about a week ago my mom was inspired by a TV show she was watching and decided to send me an email with a bunch of lights she liked form different sites. The second one on her list was the same little light above that I had already considered. That made me look into it a little more and finally decided this past weekend that I was just going to go for it. I think it really is perfect. The fixture metal is the right tone, it has bling which offsets the horns on the dining room wall, and it's bright enough. Done. Decision made. How about this.. two days later it happens to go on sale for $30 cheaper! 

 Thank you, Lowes! We picked it up last night, and after the two hour TRAGEDY of Chad actually installing it I think it's perfect! 

I suck as a photorapher and these were taken early this morning so they are dim.. 

 You get the point though. 

Now if only I could get some crown molding up there.. and a new table.. and..
