EEKKK I'm excited

I finally found a chandelier for over our Dining Room table. This is the only room that I can really do funky lighting since all of the other rooms on the main floor are the ceiling cans.

I found a gem on Overstock.com. I wanted to find something that was simple but elegant and not over $200. I had been looking at a few different styles but always went back to the traditional chandelier look. We don't have high ceilings so going for something like this would of been too intense

I also like the look of the metal look being sleek and would pull out the deeper wood colors.

I've never actually ordered anything on Overstock so the 3 reviews make me think I made the right choice. Plus it was 15% off and free shipping, you can't beat free shipping. Should be here by next week! Now we just have to make sure we get it up before summer

As we get towards the end of the month, it only means that our kitchen is going to get redone here soon! We ordered the cabinets right before the first of the month and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks to come in so hopefully we can get started here in March. On a side note, we have our same handyman helping us with getting new countertops. I sent him some pictures of what we like the last two are actually of my step-sisters house that my dad flipped this past year-- basically we like black or tan and black. Once we pick out our granite, we'll want to add a backsplash, we definitely like this mosaic look or subway tiles and a new sink and faucet.

The last step to the kitchen is adding hardware to the cabinets for a while we've been thinking we wanted silver pulls but now the more I look at things, I'm thinking we would be better off with more bronzed or silver knobs and not pulls. Plus the knobs are probably easier to install.

These are actually silver and come in packs of 25 which is exactly the # we need
