Bedroom Lighting

We've been hinking about lighting fixtures... the bedrooms are getting pretty close to being complete but we still need to order some fixtures. We originally purchased this chandelier type light for our bedroom from Lowes then realized that the shades were alabaster glass (yuck) and that it couldn't be on a dimmer, which is a problem because our switch is a dimmer switch. So much for going the cheap route...

Now we are investigating other options. Rejuvenation still has some of my favorites. We are looking at these two similiar fixtures; the pendant for our bedroom and the ceiling mount for the other bedroom. They would both be in an 'oil rubbed bronze' finish. Thoughts?

out with the old!

The day has arrived! We took the plunge and are having a brand new furnace and A/C installed. This is not a cheap endeavor; I think the money we are spending outweighs pretty much all of our rehabbing costs to date. But, this is a big investment and should last a good 15-20 years. Plus, there are tax credits available so right now is a good time to get this taken care of. And hopefully it will save us some money in the long run as well since this furnace/ac promises to be more energy efficient, etc...

Justin and I are both really looking forward to having a very quiet furnace... we will NOT miss the clunky rattling that we've grown accustomed to!

the new!

Since I was up there, here's the view of the skyline from our roof! Wish we could get a roof deck back up there... it's pretty nice! Maybe someday...
