Shining Light Saturday!

 It started innocently enough. I started the Michigan House ceiling painting in the hallway and notice how dark the globe ceiling fixture base was. 

Particularly since the ceiling was getting a lovely fresh white (2) coats of paint. Probably a good idea to take down the white glass globe, wash it and paint out the base so it visually blends into the ceiling. 

Oh, and there's another globe fixture in the front entry way. 

And, I bet if there's one at the front door, there's most likely one by the back door. Yep. And another in the kitchen between the stove and fridge. Okay - come on, how many of these flipping globe fixtures are there in this house? I had never really paid attention to them before. Four, five? Half a dozen? NO! There aren't just on the ceilings, they're on the walls, too! And the answer is TEN! 

Ten globes removed, washed & dried. Ten light fixture bases painted white  - yes, two coats! And 30! tiny screw heads painted. 

End result? Shining bright lights all over the house. Love the way the globe and fixture base just blend away into the ceiling rather than sticking out like a dark smudge.

Adding a clean look to the bathroom walls, as well. Something simple, time consuming but light changing.
