Kitchen Lanterns

 

I had the best "before" pictures.

I didn't realize I didn't have a card in my camera.

So, these lanterns with glass and an ORB finish looked like this.

They were a little dusty.

 

 

Pretty boring and generic.

They were in a box at a local church's yard sale.

$10 for the two.

Not bad, right?

We're toying with the idea of a very narrow island in the kitchen.

Something that isn't permanently attached.

Something along the lines of this.

 

 

or this...

 

 

When Marc found these lights I thought I would try to DIY

this inspiration lantern I found on Pinterest.

 

 

Oomph

 

These will hopefully hang over our narrow island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While we're talking about the kitchen/bedroom/bathrooms addition,

We finally have our permit from the City.

It took our GC, Jeff, almost a month!

Everytime he went in with all the paperwork asked for there was something else he needed to provide. 

What a process!

Thank goodness for Jeff...I hope he's as good as Steve's contractor, Sam :)

It's a good thing this journey is finally starting, our house is starting to look like a home improvement store!
