Entryway Project :: Light (not so) Bright

I mentioned in our entryway reveal that we were still working on the lighting here.

On Saturday morning, I tried to change this light fixture to a more updated version. I really didn’t want to spend a lot of $$, so I headed to Lowe’s and came home with these two options -

 Everyone likes the square one, but I still haven’t decided. There are a lot of angles already goin’ on in this space. What do you think? Anywho, doesn’t really matter at the moment because when I took it all apart this is what I found…

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a frustrated Sada post this photo. So much for a quick light change! The hole is much bigger than the new light fixture’s base, so we’ll have to patch the drywall around it. Fun. So who knows when that will happen! We are also considering adding some skylights to our living room in order to up the natural light in there. Most of our house has amazing natural light, which I looooove as a photographer, but this room is a bit dark. We’re supposed to meet with a contractor to see what he thinks! Until then, I’ll just pretend I don’t see the boob light and focus on the mini shelf of goodness

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
