dear mr. ross, thank you!

so today i thought i’d show you my new and improved ceiling fixtures for my little room redo. i can tell you’re overflowing with excitement.

but first, i need to send a big ginormous thank you to the amazing, brilliant and super duper talented eddie ross. back in january he had a lowe’s gift card giveaway and i was the lucky winner. needless to say i was really happy and really excited.

so i used this wonderful gift to purchase this light fixture for my room. it replaced a pretty ugly fan which can be seen here. i knew i wanted a chandelier …. i new i needed something with a bit of sparkle …and it needed to fit into my very small budget. but i guess ‘free’ fits into any budget. right? so here it is in all of it’s glory.

i just love it. perfect for the space and it suited all my needs perfectly. it even looks great with my little shaker peg rail. so, again, a huge thanks to eddie ross!!

loveliness!

the ceiling fixture also needed replaced in the bedroom portion of the space. again, the new fixture also replaced a super ulgy fan which can be seen here. i opted for another fan, this one, as some of my guests really do like it and use it.  check it out: 

 i actually think ceiling fans have come a long way! i especially love the fans that do not have pull cords! what a difference, right? and this fan really felt right for the space. the actual light portion reminded me of a barn light.

now, if they could just come up with an easier way to install them! if you ever go to install a ceiling fan (especially one with a remote … ie. no pull cords) plan to have a friend on hand. i needed to stack a box on a ladder on a bed. it was tramatic.

piece by piece my lovely little room is coming along. and, if i can get myself together i’m hoping to show you my curtains tomorrow. i just love them. stay tuned!
