Schoolhouse Light

R

eady for another simple light change? You saw how the star light in the photo above transformed my kitchen by changing out the builder's brass fixture. Well,...see that other light above? The one that looks like it belongs in an old schoolhouse? I found it the same day as the star light and the other items you see there. Where was that? The outstanding occasional sale at Second Hand Rose in Buffalo, MN.

MOVE THAT MOUSE...

For the next photo, move your mouse over the image to see the before and after!

From grim to prim in 5 minutes. So much better, right? This is in the master bath...one of two rooms in the house that has received zero attention (except for this light) since we moved in. I hope that we will be working on this room this summer.

Important to note: There is only one more of those icky little brass lights left in the house...I think. We're picking them off one by one!!

P.S. Shout out to Britt@A Penny Saved who made her own schoolhouse light fixture for $9! Have you seen it? Amazing!!

Coming up...

If you are a fan of The Lettered Cottage (that should cover pretty much every blogger I know), you saw that I was the lucky duck New Year's Day winner of their True Value Giveaway. I won the hand-picked goodies in the photo at left.

My first project with them involves that fabulous wire frame. It has a home near that glorious antique gesso advertising mirror in the master bedroom makeover.

You'll get to see it in the next post!
