Project re-do #1- Updated pics

Over the weekend I was staring up at our ugly gold light fixtures wanting a way to change them out. I know light fixtures are expensive and since this is eventually just going to be a rental apartment for us, I didn’t want to buy new ones. My HGTV watching came in handy though because I instantly thought back to the times I saw designers just spray paint them. I talked Jared into being on board and what do you know….brand new light fixtures!

You remember this gold piece of work, right?

We even decided to paint the gold knobs on our cabinet

Also, what do think about these curtains?

Should I order them?

Please keep your ideas coming….I would love to hear them.

  3. Get them ASAP! I LOVE them, in fact i'm so there with you on wanting to overhaul my apartment, however when I think about how I can't really do anything permanent, because we are now renting, I get discouraged, and I keep changing my mind on what colors I want. Love the curtains though, wish I could get more panels and a second rod for my curtains, hopefully one day soon.

    Oh, and I think those wooden bamboo roll shades would look so cute with those curtains, however i'm sure you've got the nice wooden blinds already.

  5. Love the curtains. You should definitely get them. Good job on the re-purposing. They look brand new and I am sure it will help when you go to sell.
