(This narrative will be mostly in pictures.)
So, home improvements, right? Making moves... it's looking good.
Until we look up, that is, and see these:
These gold-gilded monstrosities were in the LR and DR.
We lived with it for a while because we are practical people
and there were more important things to take care of, but then Liberace called...
He wanted his fixtures back. We gladly obliged him.
In their stead, we found these two (dare I say) sumptuous pieces
at Home Depot. Regular, ol' Home Depot - don't sleep!
This is the dining room chandelier, and the lights are bright enough to withstand a dark wall color. Oh, espresso...
(Oh the amber drops look like candy! But I won't eat them - promise.)
This is the living room light/ceiling fan fixture. Love the smooth, curved lines on this, and the metal work will echo the dining room wall color quite nicely.
(The metal finish on this fan is beautiful. It's sturdy, but not overbearing.)

It's the next step in making this place look like our own. Next, we tackle the painting. Does painting the ceiling the same color as the walls really benefit a space? What about the general rule of a ceiling being a few shades lighter than the wall? Two rooms, two approaches. We'll see what happens!

Divine! If not for the absurdity of reality television, I'd say you should audition for HGTV's Design Star!
