As you know, we bought into a "70's-chic" house. Right when we moved in, one of the things we knew we would be changing was all the brass. Nasty! Now that it's warm out, we decided to tackle the exterior sconces.
Here are the brass-tastic sconces before...

And the scary light by the back door...
And now our pretty new satin nickel sconces...
So much better and it makes a huge difference!

hi there. i came by thru serenity now - I LOVE the new light fixtures. the nickel looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa! I'd love to keep your link on my party list, but I need you to add a link back to my blog please. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe new light fixtures made a world of difference. I really do like that satin nickel look! :) Great Progress!
I can't believe what changin the lights does to a house. I am a HGTV addict and I love what a difference it makes when they change a light. Love the nickel. Of course, we know they will change us back to brass in 10 years. See what people are doing with their brass chandeliers by painting them, I wish I had hung onto mine! But where would I store them?
ReplyDeleteoh, the brass!! We have an absolute infestation of it! My hubs has so wonderfully replaced all our old brass trimmed ceiling fans with such less shiny ones! It's making me happy, so I know your lights must be making you happy!
ReplyDeleteO.K. The new light looks nice, But, I LOVE YOUR TIED BATHROOM MATTS. I can hardly wait to make one. Thank-you for the idea and tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWow - that looks great! Did you do it yourself? I need to change my porch light asap! UG CITY!
ReplyDeleteI am so digging your sconces! What a big difference they make. I bet you're "lit up" about them ( -:
ReplyDeletehehe...yes! Brass be gone! The fixtures make a great improvement. :)
