No, it’s not Diwali or Hanukkah in July. Hubster and I just updated two lights in our home.

Dining Room –
This is the light we inherited with the purchase of our home. I don’t like the antique brass color, the fact that I can see the ugly lightbulbs, or the ugly cord visible in the chain…

Previous Light Fixture

Hubster purchased the new light at a yard sale for $10. The cord was missing from one side, and he thought he’d have to rewire the light. Luckily, the cord hidden inside the lamp and just needed to be fished through. It also did not come with a mounting piece and bolt, so he had to drill a larger hole in the existing one on the ceiling. I did have to spray paint the bolt from the lamp we removed from the kitchen.
