Ta-da!

Last weekend we painted the light which hangs over our kitchen table. I have included a before and after. Once more, I have to say that I love being able to reuse these light fixtures thanks to my spray paint! Once the materials for our light box arrive, we can schedule the building and installation of that. A decorative box, made of wood and trim to match our cabinets, will go over the island and then our new island light will be suspended from it.
 
Before:    (Oops! Note the shades which were very crooked after we jiggled the light around for the picture.)

Window Treatment

The new cornices are made and up! My dad cut out and constructed them and then my mother and I tackled the task of covering them. I am really pleased with them and enjoy the  pop of color they provide the breakfast room.
