Light Up Our Life

In our mission to make this house our home, we are updating some of the lighting around and are loving it so far!
After eyeing up this light at Menards and himming and hawing over it for months, with gift cards and rebates in hand we pulled the trigger and brought this baby home!

Installation was easy,  besides the fact that I kept imagining the hubs falling off the ladder.  I just hid in the living room until he was done.  We love it. Enough said.
I have also been OBSESSING about owning a capiz chandelier for the longest time and for once my patience has paid off.  After months and months and months and months of creeping on World Markets website and in store, I found this baby for 50% off and may I add that it was the last one...

We also had to buy this since without it our room would be a little dark:

At first I wasn't completely diggin' it in our bedroom, but looking back I think it was because I was WAY over tired and not thinking straight, but after a nap things were looking better!

We also changed up the lighting in both of our bathrooms.  Needless to say this light wasn't our style and had to go.

 So we changed it out:

The half bath's update included going from this light:

 To this light:
 
lighting, menards, pendant lighting, stained glass, cream, paint, diy, decor, decorations, bathroom, bathroom lighting, vanity lighting, vanity

lighting, menards, pendant lighting, stained glass, cream, paint, diy, decor, decorations, bathroom, bathroom lighting, vanity lighting, vanity

 If it looks familiar (maybe?) we ended up going with the same one that we had used in our half bath at our first house.

We still have a few more rooms to find lighting for...The hunt is OFFICIALLY on.
