Nehil Home Tour | Updated Kitchen Lighting

Home Decor & Landscaping, Kitchen

This past February we had been in our home for six years and I’m working to share these spaces here on the blog.  We’ve been slowly but surely making changes to improve the functionality or look to our home and make it more us. Today I’m showing you a cool update to our kitchen!

My advice? Don’t live with something you hate just because it was there when you moved in. (Remember my Rookie Home Decorating Mistakes?) Let’s take a step back a few years to the lighting that was in our kitchen when we moved in:

I never liked this matching chandelier and pendant set but it stayed for over 5 years. I didn’t care for the leaf detail, the yellowish lampshades over each of the lights and especially the height in which the chandelier hung over the table.

We had it chained up as high as possible and yet Derek hit his head on it every time he stood up. (He’s not even tall!) Since it matched the pendants we waited until we found a full set we loved.

Fast forward a few years and we found a set that’s much more us!

Round, curved shapes with circular details on top? Yes please!

A single chandelier with a bottom that gives off reflective soft light instead of seeing a bulb? I’m in love!

Secret to making a room beautiful - fresh flowers. Spray roses from @BloomsyBox. #BloomingHappy #ad | Spotofteadesigns.com

These were purchased at Lowes online and dare I say complete this room! (Don’t they look pretty over my Bloomsybox flowers?)



The color in these photos makes them look a lot more yellow than they are in real life so I included the resource links before where you can check it out online or in stores for yourself!

    I was eyeing those light fixtures at the store :) We have no where to currently put them until we renovate the kitchen which is not in the near future but I really like them.

I just introduced Derek to The Greatest Showman la I just introduced Derek to The Greatest Showman last night so it's only fitting I start this post with "this is the moment you've all been waiting for" (woahhh ohhh). It's our half bathroom reveal day! 
.
Swipe to see where we started with the weirdest spacing, a small crooked pedestal sink and basic builder grade everything. My handy hubby (along with my handy brother-in-law Frank) transformed this space into this modern farmhouse style that's now my second favorite room in the house. (Second only to my office, of course)

Yesterday in stories I asked what holiday is next Yesterday in stories I asked what holiday is next now that Easter is over. I want to beef up my etsy shop with more printables and also offer some more freebie svg files on my blog. I got a mix of Mother's Day, Memorial Day and Teacher Appreciation Week so thanks for the inspiration to get designing!
