let there be light

to anyone and everyone

who ever built a house or did a remodel

kudos to you !!
**

i never knew how indecisive i could be

house update:

the electricians have arrived

so...not only do i have to make decisions as to

where switches should go,

where outlets should be,

where i may be putting my tv

(so they can run cable while the walls are open)

to where my phone will be

(same reason)

to where my computer and air conditioner might go

but...

i have to choose fixtures
for each room,

the porch, and outside

you would think this would be an easy decision....

not so much !

**

i thought

(oh so obviously incorrectly)

the i had a bit of a 'flair' for decorating

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

i cant even make simple decisions !!

i went to lowes and home depot  - twice each

and brought home 0 fixtures

**

finally today ... because i am

o u t    o f     t i m e

i had to choose

something

**

to complicate matters

the ceilings in this house

are LOW LOW LOW

so no dangling lights AT ALL

not even an inch !!!

you would think this would help narrow it down

but NOT

why do they have so many to choose from???

give me 3 and i'm good........then i can pick

but not 300

just too many

white or silver or gold or wrought iron...
pretty, plain, antiquey, country....
glass, metal...
flourescant???

oh so many choices

**

after much mind changing deep thought
 i realize my problem was that what i really want

are antique fixtures..

ah ha !
light bulb moment
(get it...light bulb...electic fixures...haha)

i do not want the
new, shiny, chromy, fancy, cheap reprodution
ones they had..

so my decision was to go least expensive

and upgrade after i hit the flea markets this summer !!

good idea huh??

so what you see here is what i ended up with

temporarily.....haha.. no, really

**

what do you think?

did i do good,

or just put off the choosing??

either way .. i dont care

it's done, i'm done and i feel good

**

i did actually make one choice..

i need to add a light over my steps...

being small, narrow and triangular,

i think a light may just be a good idea..

i needed something that i will be able to reach

and change bulbs

(how do they do it with those high ceilings?)

and i dont want to have to change out the fixture later

as it is very hard to get up there..

so i found this one..
it hangs from a long chain

very antiquey looking..
works for me..

so after many days of looking..

i am ... exhausted ... really

design and decorate an entire house.....never happen

nate........where are you ?????

but for now..

in my little farmette house...


let there be light !
