I’m still looking for a light to replace the 1960′s builder grade light in our narrow hall. Of course I had to peruse Shades of Light just to see what fabulousness they had. Though more than I want to spend, I like to get an idea of the styles and finishes I like by browsing higher end retailers. Then I look for a lower priced alternatives at big box stores, discount chains, etc. To save time and gas, I do my comparison shopping online.
I’d like a small, round flush mount or semi-flush mount light with a nickel or chrome finish for the hall. Fortunately, I found similar alternatives for all of them at Lowes. See if you can pick out the more expensive light (answers below).
1. Shades of Light: Circlet Ceiling Light – $289
2. Lowes: Allen + Roth Flush Mount Nickel – $89
3. Shades of Light: Jonathan Adler Celing Light – $239
4. Lowes: Portfolio Satin Nickel Flush Mount – $74
5. Lowes: Allen + Roth Polished Crome Ceiling Light – $88
6. Shades of Light: Interlocking Rings Flush Mount Ceiling Light – $189
See how 30 minutes of comparison shopping can save you $100-$200.
Which light is your favorite?

So, I thought I had invented this delicious new treat but one quick search on Pinterest and I discovered that it’s been done before…by Betty Crocker. Well, at least I’m in good company. Betty’s version (we’re on a first name basis) called for corn syrup (bad, Betty, bad) and a teaspoon of vanilla (good, Betty,…

Remember when I started this project two weeks ago… I’ve been taking my time, as you can tell, but it is slowly coming along. So far I’ve primed and painted both the walls and trim. I used Valspar No VOC primer for the walls and some leftover paint from the entry makeover in Sherwin Williams…
