Old World Lighting



Hello everyone!
The weekend sure did fly by.  I can't believe it's already Monday!  I'm still working on my master bathroom post to share with you, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some new lights that I hung in my house. 
 If you don't know this already, I'm a HUGE lighting lover!  I feel it is one of the most important style makers in your house.  Cheap looking lighting can ruin your whole house.  It sets the tone for the rooms and is one of the first things people see when they walk into your home.  I love how lighting can change the mood of a room at night based on where you place it and the wattage of the light bulbs being used. 
I decided to change out the light fixture in my front sitting room.  I wanted something a bit more substantial and I wanted it more in keeping with the other changes that I've made in my home lately. So, I found this light fixture being offered from Decor Steals.  I checked the measurements of it and decided it should work.    
It is now one of my favorite lights!  It has an old world look to it and fits in well with the french farmhouse style that I like. I have it on a dimmer switch so I can control the brightness of it.

 I hung another light on the wall in my foyer. This light was ordered from Antique Farmhouse and it just plugs in the wall. 

I love the burlap shade and the unique shape of the base.
Here is a look at it in the foyer as a whole.
