These are vintage office lights we bought many years ago, and they have been sitting in storage since. We weren't sure if it would be bright enough to light up our kitchen.
I walk by a school on my way to work everyday, and I took a peek into their windows. They have the exact same lights! I love the shape of the glass shade very much. I observed the space they were hanging in, and it is bigger than our kitchen. So, the only way to find out if it was bright enough, was to try it out.
Last week, my brother came by to help me install them, and Jin finished it off the next day. I tried installing it too, but I discovered that I am terrified of being on top of ladders! I have to get over that fear so that I can do this on my own! But our kitchen looks so different now, the light is so even and bright! It is amazing the great effect lighting has in a room! I am so glad we finally put these up.

ReplyDeletefriendly lighting is the best. i can't stand the flourescent lights in my kitchen. i use pot lights and a lamp instead.
Yaaaay! You put them up! They look beautiful. We've been doing some things around the house to get ready to be holed up for the winter, and for the holidays. I may write about it shortly. xo
