In Love with Lighting

It's hallway week! Hopefully we can get our lighting up before the end of the week. The hold-up is the old electrical that Josh is replacing. Regardless, I will show you the hallway at some point this week because I am so.excited.

When it came to our lighting for the hallway, I went back and forth, back and forth. You see, this light will be visible from the dining room, so I didn't want it to completely different (in a bad way). I wanted them to compliment each other. Thus, I went back and forth between what style I should get. Something I now know about myself, is that I am ob-sessed with light fixtures - particularly chandeliers. Who isn't? Here are a few of my contenders.

There really are no words for how I feel about this first chandelier. I mean.

Shades of Light

I don't know what it is about this little light, but something just screamed HELLO! Look at me! when I saw it. While I'm not sure if black is the color for the hallway, it surely would compliment darker colors that will be making an appearance in other areas of our house.

Keeping in the same family.

Lowes

Something funky?

Then, I floated on over to the crystal love affair.

Shades of Light

Which one is your favorite?!

There were so many factors to consider when I purchased one of these beauties. Did I need to have a flush-mount, semi-mount, full on chandelier, or what?! Would Josh hit his head if we ended up getting a chandelier? Would it be too bulky? Hopefully it'll be sparkling in my hallway soon enough :)

Unfinished projects and broken toilets

I have a quick little Monday evening update for you. It was my birthday weekend and we got a whole lotta nothing accomplished. Except lots of celebrating and lots of recuperating. Towards the end of the week last week, we made a little jump start on the hall. I will have more details on that at some point this week. Here's a little teaser. How many updates can you spot?

Then, the only thing left in the tiny bathroom was to fix the toilet leak. Then this happens. 

Oh yeah. Frustrated faces over here. 

But if this doesn't lift your spirits, I don't know what will. Say hello to my birthday minion cupcakes today at work. So stinking adorable.

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
