Let there be light...

I mentioned on my last post that I went on an Ikea run to find some new lighting for my scrapbook studio. I was fed up with not being able to see what I was creating!

I wanted to take a before and after picture but Ted had already taken the ceiling fan down. So just imagine this picture with a ugly white ceiling fan...hee...(sorry for the not so great pic...I had no light! lol)

(BTW-If you are trying to figure out what is on that second shelf, under the clear jars, that is a small collection of Pez dispensers. I collect them and thought a small display of them would be fun in this room! They make me smile.)

I think another reason I was afraid to change lighting is my studio is a room on top of the garage. It was converted from a screened in porch from the previous owner so no ventilation. It gets really warm in the summer and cool in the winter, so I thought the ceiling fan was a necessity for cooling it down...but I decided to get an air conditioner just for that room. Problem solved.

Here is the after...

Here are the fixtures with the lights off...

I already worked in there a little tonight and I can't believe how much light makes a difference!I love it now! This has motivated me to share the whole room with you guys soon.

Have a great weekend. I'll be back soon with more projects from the 30 DOI...
