A New Light

Jan13

Posted in: baby boy, home

I have a new light in my hallway, the hallway between the master bedroom and the nursery…and I love it! Thanks to the husband for installing it on his holiday break. and yes, it is from Pottery Barn and they have sconces too.

It is a tiny tiny hallway so the small scale is perfect…and I love the clear glass.

But really, anything is better than what it replaced.

I can explain about the brass. When we moved in to our little house NINE + years ago, I found this little light in brushed nickel and it was fine, especially for $20 bucks. BUT they only had one and I needed TWO (one for another little hallway upstairs).. So I got the nickel for upstairs and the brass one for the hallway so we could have a light for a few weeks and then I just thought I would simply replace it when I had time to find something I liked better. You know how that goes…so finally…finally we have a better light in this little space and I love it! I will say it casts a shadow on the ceiling that bothered me at first but who cares, the brass is gone and I dont even notice it a few days later.

And THIS little light, which BTW is exactly what he is, pure light and joy, well he is 6 months old today! We love you baby Henry, you are such a blessing to our family. What did we do without you?

This is what I find in his crib every morning…a happy baby!

all day long for the most part…

don’t hate me, my first one was not this content so I am very thankful.

soaking. it. up. thankful.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. -James 1:17

Too adorable and so much fun. Who can get anything done when you have Henry to play with? Love the light…a great nudge for me!

What a cutie! My baby boy just turned six months old, too. And he’s also a happy baby. I always look forward to seeing him in the morning – once he wakes up and sees me, he just grins! Isn’t that a great way to start the day?

I LOVE the light! When I had one with a clear bell (or whatever the glass part is called), I had trouble remembering to always have clear lightbulbs on hand for it. They look TERRIBLE when you have to put a frosted bulb in them! I had to do that a couple of times for a few days until I got to the store to buy clear ones. Yours is LOVELY!

I loooove the new light…but, honey, that baby steals the show! ;o) Even if you were telling us tales of him being just awful, he’d still be beyond precious….and he’s such a doll, we probably wouldn’t believe it anyway. haha!

Your sweet baby is adorable. I can not believe he is six months old, seems like only yesterday I learned from your blog that you had a new baby. He does look like a happy young man.
Liked the light.
God bless you and your sweet family this new year.

Love the light–looks perfect for that space. It’s sometimes the little things that make such a big difference isn’t it? (and that make us happy:)) Sweet, sweet baby boy!! Mine are all teenagers now but oh, how I remember those sweet days!

I have found the same thing! We bought 4 ceiling lights and have only installed 2…then come to find out we need one more they only come in packs of 2 though. What a bummer. beautiful baby! such a gift!
