let there be light

thanks to troy and karrie who spent about two hours at my house, i have finally said good bye to the last of the horrible brass lights in my house! i bought new fixtures for the entry way and dining room table about a YEAR ago because i found a good deal, but rich and i are electrically challenged so in the boxes they sat until karrie volunteered troy for the job! the old entry way fixture was a pretty big brass and glass beast and once the new one was hung karrie said, "welcome to this century" - my sentiments exactly!slowly but surely we're updating this house. although most days it feels more like "slowly" rather than "surely". one bonus of the new lighting is that my pretty yellow walls stay pretty even after the sun goes down. they used to look like a kind of gross yellow with the old lights. thanks troy and karrie, you guys made my day! now i just need to get that dang moulding painted!
