New Light Fixtures

A month or two ago, Home Depot had many of their light fixtures on sale.  Since I'm on a mission to replace several light fixtures in our home, Rob and I chose new fixtures for our kitchen and dinette.  Last week my Dad came over and installed them for us.  Now I'm loving our new lights!

Here are some BEFORE and AFTER pictures.




Whoever roughed in the light fixture for the dinette area was not thinking too straight, as the light was in a most obscure place.  There was no way we could center the table under it if we wanted any sort of reasonable traffic patterns in the kitchen/dinette.  Rob and I both noticed the odd location of this light when we first came through this house before we bought it.  It is about 22 1/2 months since that day (and about 19 1/2 months since we moved in), but that oddity is FINALLY fixed.  It is so nice to have a light OVER the kitchen table.  In our old house, the light was in a reasonable location, but it was really an ugly fixture.  Now, I have a light I like AND it is centered over the table!

So, thank you very much Dad - we really like the new lights!

Hey! I cleaned those old ones! Didn't I do a good enough job?

Of course you did! It is just that after 19 1/2 months they probably should have been cleaned again...so we just got new ones instead. But 19 1/2 months from now I might just have to clean them instead of getting new ones again!
