More House Updates

I never posted a picture of what our kitchen looks like now after painting all the cabinets. As you can tell the top cabinets are a much brighter white. The wall is a more soft white and the bottom cabinets are now black. Before the wall was light brown and the cabinets were all a off white/cream color.

I also do not think I ever posted a picture of our new dinning room light fixture. The one that was an absolute pain to install because it was so heavy.  Its from Pottery Barn. It was a floor model because they were discontinuing the style. We ended up getting it at a fraction of the price. We also put in a new and bigger medallion. The one before was a 10 inch and the one now is a 16 inch. The chairs we got from Restoration Hardware. They are the Madeline Cafe Chairs. They were a nightmare to get because the shipping was all wrong and we sent some back and some were broken and some got lost. Lets just say it took a month to finally get all the chairs.                                                                                              
                                                                                                                       

Finally a new light fixture

Our foyer entrance light fixture was an eye sore the moment I saw it before we bought the house. Its dated and GOLD and old. I never understood why the previous owners did not replace it because it did not go with their decor at all. The second worst thing about the fixture besides the aesthetics of it, was that it put out poor light. It was not bright and pretty at all.

Look how ugly this thing looks. Its was so dingy and bad in every way, shape and form. We replaced it with this beauty. I apologize that the images are sideways. They are uploading sideways. This new fixture is from Pottery Barn and we got it at a steal at more than 50% off because it was a floor model and because it was missing a few crystals. I do not mind the missing crystals. I can't tell unless I stare at it long enough to notice there are missing crystals.

It is so much brighter and really makes the foyer feel more welcoming. The picture above is taken during the day time and the picture below is at night.
