before and after

we've been busy this week!

i hosted a baby shower yesterday...

which served as excellent motivation

to get a lot of my house "to do"s done.

we were up until 4AM one night,

but we got lots done.

here is one project - before and after.

this chandelier has bugged us since we moved in...

we always thought we'd just eventually buy a new one,

but now i don't know... 
all it took was some paint & new shades,
and, i'm sorta loving it.
