home updates

i gave you a sneak peak last week, now here's a full-on look at our kitchen and family room.
but, first, here is the before of the light fixtures above the kitchen table:



and just in case you didn't see how horrible the florrescent light panel was, here's a close-up
you can't see it from the photo, but there was about ten dead bugs trapped in it as well.



more updates to come on my chair project and ottoman re-do for my living room.

    May I ask where they are from, because I know just the place to hang them?
    Sigh... can't wait to get started myself.

    Nicole Lisa: you can get the light fixtures at CB2, but i got mine at crate&barrel outlet.
    style'n: i know, i didn't realize that i had 18 pairs until i was un-packing them and it seemed like they were never-ending.
