Let There Be Lights!

When we moved into the house there were some pretty interesting (read: ugly) lights that we immediately wanted to get rid of.

 

We immediately got to shopping for some replacements.

This is the light we got to replace #1, it was only $8 on clearance at Lowe's!

It doesn't put out a ton of light but I love the way it looks.

The replacement above the sink for light #2.

We got this at the local Habitat for Humanity ReStore and it was only $15!

An added bonus is that it puts out a ton of light and really brightens up dish-washing!

Replacement for ugly light #3. We had to get a specific light for this space because it needed to sit below the beam. This was the most expensive light we got and cost around $40.

This is the replacement for ugly light #4. We bought this in a 2-pack for $20.

New lights for #s 5 and 6. These lights are so much better than the outdoor lights that were in there.

We debated in the light aisle of Home Depot for a half an hour about whether the lights should point up or down. A helpful employee came along and suggested we point them up due to light coming from the ceiling. Definitely the right pick, I love how they look.

This is the other light from our 2-pack, it is in the middle of the kitchen. I don't have a before picture and actually can't even remember what was there.

The last new light we put in. We got this at the ReStore for $5. It started white and we gave it a nice coat of oil-rubbed bronze (post coming soon).

These lights made a huge difference in updating our house. We still have some of those old lights available if anyone is interested ;-) We actually heard they were worth money but I haven't been able to find them anywhere.
