Let there be light!!

We had a really bad lighting problem in our living room, and it was obnoxious every time we tried to read in there, or have any sort of gathering.
Jordan, who is completely addicted to Craigslist, found this beautiful light on that site. It was only $65, and Jordan talked them down to $50. It was new in the box, and had never been opened. It was probably $400 when it was first purchased.
Jordan and his dad managed to install it the same evening we bought it(it's SO great having a handy husband), and now our living room is as bright as the mid-day sun! We love it! I'm a little worried about the wattage the thing is using, and the effect it's going to have on my power bill. So I have become a total light nazi, turning lights off all over the house!

That looks like a nice light. I need to get one for above my stair way. Some day. I'm really glad you got it for such a good deal.

I love the lamp! There definitely isn't much better place to shop than Craigslist!

I love it! Isn't it amazing the difference a new light can make? We got a new light in our entry way last year and I couldn't believe the improvement. I also love that Jordan got it for $50.
