Entry and chandelier

Now that you have seen the front of the house, Let’s check out the inside. Wow I sound like a lame TV show host or something. The entry was done in a slate gray/green tile which we were not so hot on at first, but has really grown on us. There was a perfect place for a small side table. We went to the c02 going out of business sale not really expecting to find anything but there it was. Actually Rebecca spotted it and called. Note: the green carpet on the stairs will be changed. As you can see it is sort of a split entry, if you go upstairs you enter the master bedroom loft, downstairs will take you to the rest of the house.


Standing at the stairs to go up or down, if you look straight up you will see our new chandelier. It was really cool to find this, yes I got it on EBay. The glass is all hand blown, It was a little scary hanging it. The chandelier is actually a replica of this one. No I did not pay anywhere close to that. Most of us are on a budget so you have to choose where to go HIGH or LOW on your decor. We where very pleased on how this turned out. Oh and here is a pic of the old light, not really into the stain glass look.

First things first

Most of the changes we have done so far are small simple ones. We had to change the lights on the house along with the house numbers. I chose a simple cylinder that shines light up and down. I chose a color that would tie in our dark brown metal roof, love that thing. Modern house numbers are super spendy. So I went down to the local hardware store and picked these up. I sanded then sprayed them a dark bronze color. They don’t match the lights perfect but pretty close. I have always liked the look of raised house numbers. I got some tubing used to connect ice makers and cut it into small pieces and painted them as well. I also had to get some longer stainless screws and just like that I had some modern house numbers.
