Little Home Improvement

Spent the day replacing an old lamp in the breakfast area of my house. Here is the old lamp picture.



The new lamp (or chandelier) was purchased from Costco. Here is the picture after I installed it.



It's not something really fancy, but I think it looks better than the old lamp. The whole job took me about 40 minutes because I had to cut the chain shorter.

i like both, i think the old one has more dramatic result if it's hung in a smaller room (so the shape and design caught the attention). the new one looks good too ... i am going to Costco and do some shopping this weekend too. gotta remember to bring the 'coupon' book this time.

The original lamp was installed back in March 2001 when we first moved into the house. It was purchased from Ikea and back then we thought of making the house to look "Japanese-ish". Fast-forward to 2007 it's kind of dated so we had decided to go for a change.

Yes WittyBB that it would have looked better in a smaller room, and Jasper, it was a liitle too dim but since the old lamp was made w/ paper I couldn't use a brighter bulb.
