Since becoming a homeowner, my new favorite store is Lowes. Whenever we get a free weekend afternoon, I feel like I am always in the mood for a Lowes trip, whether necessary or unnecessary. Lucky for me, a few weekends ago we found ourselves in this wondrous place and I found myself walking down my favorite aisle: lighting. I've had major light envy since we bought our house in December. We scored this amazing Roth and Allen pendant light on clearance at Lowes for about $40 to replace the nasty light we have in the kitchen. I've recently begun scheming how I envision our kitchen to look: simple, farm house-esque, and cozy. It's one of the few rooms in the house we've sort of left untouched and have made no major changes to, besides painting it all white (it was originally orange and green...yes)
You can see the ugly light we had previously in the space.
Rich spent a good portion of the day taking down the old light, repainting the space underneath, back at Lowes to buy mold for around the light, and re-hanging the new one. Ellie was a faithful observer to make sure dad didn't fall off the step ladder.
Once it was complete, we were so happy with the impact this little light had on our space. I love how simple upgrades can really add character to a room! I have so many more plans for this little space this summer and I can't wait to watch the space transform.
