Well, the new lighting in the family room isn't exactly new.....it's just different! |
 |
It's new to the room, but not to the house |
 |
I had been thinking about replacing the ceiling fan in the family room for quite sometime. I also thought that the chandelier in the hallway was a little big for the area. So, my solution to that was to move the hall chandy to the family room and buy a smaller one for the hallway.......easy peasy! Well, it was easy for me, not so much so for H.....lol! |
 |
It took H most of the morning to take down the fan.....pack it away.......take down the chandy in the hall......rehang it in the family room......whew, I got tired just watching him! |
 |
The ceiling fan put out very little light....... |
 |
The room is so much brighter with the new chandelier. |
 |
H also put put up a ceiling medallion to complete the new look |
 |
Thank you honey! |
 |
While H was installing the new light, I was busy making new shade covers for the chandeliers on each side of the fireplace. |
 |
If you look close at my before and after photo earlier, you will notice that the shade covers are white lace. |
 |
I made pink and grey lamp covers ......... |
 |
I also reworked the mantel and added more pink roses.......(you can see the difference in the before and after photo I showed you earlier in the post) |
 |
All of these changes will compliment the Christmas decor I have planned for the family room......can't wait to get started on it! |
|
Til next time........xoxo |
Really pretty, Penny! Happy decorating and happy fall to you and Mr. H!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your decor looks exquisite, charming, joyful and quite beautiful. I love your posts, Penny. Thank you ! :) maryanne
ReplyDeleteWell, Penny, That was a great idea to put the chandler in the family room. I love that chandler!!!! Was that another one of your great finds? Tell Mr H he does fine work. The medallion really set off the light. I would like to find a beautiful chandler like that; I am looking. I won't pay retail prices as they are ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Christmas house decorations!!!!
Thanks for brightening my day.

Hi Leona, I bought that chandelier at Home Depot several years ago. It was $100 and I noticed the other day that they still carry it in stock. H really does do great work,
DeleteI forgot to mention in the post that he put it on a remote control so I can turn it on from the comfort of my recliner......hugs....
Visiting from All Things Beautiful's blog hop. Love your decor! My guy probably wouldn't let me do this - kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier just 'makes' the room! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJs!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty chandy! I love moving things from room to room, too. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteChandys are the funniest thing to add to a room. I have one hanging and it isn't even hooked up! It was my grandmother's and I got it. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
