New Kitchen Light!
We have a small sized kitchen and of course that just sucks. Well a while back I found a green chandelier style light at the thrift store for just $4.95 in ‘as is’ condition. If anything I figured it would look cool and probably need to be rewired to work. Recently we changed out the [...]

A Small living room update
