We've finally swapped out all of those big brass halogen banquet hall lights we had all over the house!
(Sorry most of these pics are super soft focus... I was using my iPhone... with the lights on you can't see them... with them off it's too blurry... at least you get the gist)
Kitchen:
Replaced golden boob for track lighting.
Dining Room:
Replaced golden boob for vintage chandelier.
(this is that vintage metal chandelier we got at the antiques fair last Fall)
Family Room:
Replaced two golden boobs for a pendant light and fan.
The pendant light hangs over the kids work table. We removed the second light in favor of a fan (with no lights) because we needed more overhead room for our active Wii games ... and this room is not connected to our central air. We're going to put in some floor lamps instead.This room still needs paint and window treatments... and not to have taped up coloring pages for artwork... hoping this is the next room completed.
Oh and we changed out this entryway light...
for this...
Once we were going with a more craftsman vibe in the hallway that black chandelier was on the outs (now in a bedroom). This is actually a fairly decent fake Tiffany style light... you can't see it's details in this... but I promise it's not cheesy.

Very nice. Isn't great that something like a change in light fixtures can make such a big difference! Especially, when like me, you don't have the money for a full makeover!!
Glad you finally got the vintage chandelier up...I've been waiting to see that one!
I'm pretty pleased, I wish I had any pics of the golden boobs.. because the change is dramatic. Plus, we didn't spend more than $80 on a single light fixture, and outside of the vintage light they are all from Lowes or HomeDepot.
