Light Brite

This weekend Matt, Justin, Kim and I road tripped it to Trenton, Illinois to purchase all our light fixtures. Justin highly recommended this place which is close to his hometown. Fitting enough, the store is called Light Brite - and we loved every minute of our experience!

We had an appointment with Taffy who was awesome! She went through our floor plan made a list of all the fixtures we would need, asked our thoughts on what kind of fixture we were thinking for different areas, and helped with the placement of can lights. We then set out through the store to see what kinds of things we liked. I like so many different styles of things and I had a huge concern of making sure everything would compliment each other.  Taffy's expertise really came into play when deciding how large of a fixture we needed for different places and how much light different fixtures would put off.  You can get a flesh mount ceiling fixture in a variety of sizes and I was so thankful to have someone who knew exactly what we needed.

After a little over two hours, we had everything picked out, the can lights paid for and loaded in the car and away we went! We don't know how much we spent yet, Taffy will get us the order all typed up and sent to us this week. I am anxious to see if we stayed within out budget or not. I know for sure two of the lights we picked out were pretty pricey....my closet light (see below) and this awesome fan light combo for our screened in patio...we will see how it all shakes out!

My favorite choice of the day!

On our way home, Matt got a call from a guy he golfs with who wanted to come see our house today (Sunday).  So we had the first official showing on the house today, hosted by yours truly! It was kind of weird being here while they were here, but it all worked out okay and I think they liked it.

Matt and Justin have been working all day running wire and putting in boxes for the can lights. Its really coming along nicely!

Oh and I finally got my sweet tart jelly beans today! Just as good as I remembered them!
