My mum has the coolest outdoor lights. They're kind of brown with yellow circle glass in them and very interesting looking. I really wanted to find lights like hers for our house. After several missteps (every light we liked for outdoors was either discontinued or they only had a single light left...so why even have it on the display floor?) we settled on these ones. I like them even more than in the lighting store!
Also, our downspouts got installed.
Here's the other outside light. Pretty, isn't it?!
And the light in the front entry. Again, I had something different in mind, but because everything within our price range was excruciatingly boring, I settled on this. There are a few things about the house I don't like (the mouldings around the doors upstairs for instance) so in the 20 or so years I'm sure I'll replace those things. It's hard for a perfectionist like me to take things slowly though!
The den. I HATE these lights. I had no idea we could request a ceiling light instead of these awful wall sconces. Maybe they'll grow on me, but for now my brilliant plan is to remove them, put a plate over and then hang pictures there. *sigh* The lights themselves are quite pretty though, aren't they?
Our bedroom. The wall colour is actually gray. I need to find some white bedding and then I'll accent with texture I think. Can't wait.
The carpets were supposed to be installed on Friday but they weren't at the warehouse. So hopefully tomorrow?! Then we're just waiting on switchplates, toilets, sinks, fixtures...the lipstick basically. Only ELEVEN more days!!
