I’m jumping in with rusty moves and a crappy picture. Happy Wednesday!
I took this picture early, early Tuesday morning. It’s off-center, poorly angled, and not that great, but it shows that we are finally starting to do things again. And, more importantly, replacing the ceiling fan in our family room has been on our to-do list since the first William Morris Project two years ago. Since time immemorial, really.
My goal, as I wrote it in my “creating an intentional home” list, was to [r]eplace with good quality, family friendly materials the sofa, coffee table, chair(s), window treatments, and lighting.
Hmmm. Well, the ceiling fixture is from IKEA (it’s this one), so I don’t know that I would go so far as to say we replaced the fan with quality materials, but it provides better light and is far less of an eyesore that what we had before.
Looking at my goals, which I should really print out so I can refer to them regularly, we still need to replace the coffee table, window treatments, and remaining lighting. I can’t believe I was thinking there wasn’t much left to do. There’s, like, a million, trillion, kabillion things left to do. I’m getting excited to start in on some projects.
I ike the fixture. I can’t give up our ceiling fans in here in Florida – maybe the humidity makes them more necessary for me? I’m on the hunt to replace them, but our house would look better without. BTW, you never posted cute haircut pictures on the blog, did you? You should – the ones on FB were so cute!
Yay for checking of the list! I have been starting at a roll-on deodorant shaped light in my entryway for 7 years & it drives me crazy. I don’t know why I don’t just replace it already.
So, this weekend, I finally got around to hanging some curtains I purchased in december, replacing broken lotion bottle and ugly soap dispenser with a matching set, hanging some art on the walls, finding homes for other things that have just been out, sitting on the floor which all lead me to think of you and the William Morris project!
I had a really busy day, so late in checking in. I hope it’s ok to admit I’ve been loving on our pup, Mocha, a bit more this week (she’s eight, so not really a pup, but I’ll call her a puppy always). I hope Buddy gets better (emotionally speaking). Thinking of you, thanks for the update.
I have that same Ikea fixture hanging over my desk area/nook. I like the aesthetics, but my husband did the install and HATED the quality (in terms of connecting the electricity & such). So even though I’d considered replacing all of our downstairs builder-grade “boob” light fixtures with these, he nipped that in the bud. “No more!” And you won’t miss your ceiling fan in the Riverside heat? I definitely use ours in the family room throughout the hot months.
