Out with the Old (and Broken)!

So, when the glass from our our oh-so-lovely flush mount "boobie" light (I'm sorry ... but, you *know* the kind I'm talking about, lol) came crashing down the other night and scared our poor babysitter to death, I knew that it was time to replace it (especially because this was the second time this had happened).

This was all that was left Saturday morning:


I had been spying this little cutie from Lowe's and, with only one left on the shelf, I knew it had to come home with us!


Thanks to our neighbor, a retired electrician, it's now adding a bit of whimsy to our mudroom!  Isn't it fun?



I love the black elements in it because it ties in so well with ... the wall art I recently scored at Home Goods, 


the new vinyl "Simply Said" design I created (and my sweet friend, Kim ordered for me):


annnnd, our family gallery wall, which hasn't changed, except for ...


this sweet vinyl that my great friend, Cindy, gave me for Christmas.  Instead of placing it on the wall, I mounted it on the glass of a frame I wasn't using ... I think it makes a great centerpiece:


So, sufficed to say, I think our new addition is fitting in well in our mudroom!  Now, let's just hope *this* one doesn't come crashing down, too!  Eek!


Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Hi Becca! Oh, the lampshade is gorgeous! I just love it and the pattern does look great in your lovely laundry room. You think you'll get that baby sitter back again? :) I've seen too many mysteries on Lifetime. :)
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  9. Becca,
    Maybe I will remove a screw or two from some of my fixtures (that I don't like) and they will come falling down:) LOVE that new fixture that you had installed...great look in there.

    Blessings,

  16. Becca, it is just the perfect light for that room! How scary for the old light to fall down and even scarier is the fact that I also have one of the "boobie lights" in my laundry room. I think it is time to reconsider! LOL

  17. Love the new light, Becca! Does it actualy give you more light with this one? I have a light in our laundry/mudroom area that I keep trying different bulbs in {because there are no windows}, but maybe I should just get a new light.

  21. Love black & white anytime! The design on it is wonderful. The Family centerpiece is one of the nicest I've ever seen.

    Does your sitter know your family well? Hope she returns! :)

  36. Gorgeous! The color scheme in there is fresh and inviting, like your master bath. Do you remember what blue paint you used? I'll try to track back and find it.

  37. Ah, okay, Wythe Blue, got it. Funny, my laundry is a pale yellow with white cabinets like yours...we even have similar decorations on top, ha! I might have to copy you, though, with that gorgeous blue:)
