Let There Be Light—But Not TOO Much

We knew when we built the screen porch that we would change the porch light for several reasons.

Number one: it was fairly ugly. Number two: the compact fluorescent drove us crazy with how slow it was to warm up. Number three: it shown right into our eyes with no mercy.

Very blah.

So on Sunday, we took a stroll through Lowes’ light fixture section and found what we wanted ---and it was about rock bottom price: always a plus!

The hardware matches the bronze screen frame and porch furniture. The shade directs the light down, instead of directly into our eyes. And I love the tiny bubbles in the glass!

That really is a cool fixture. It's rustic and classic. I'll bet the yellow light is nice. :)
