Home Improvement Newlyweds, and Willie the kitty: Kicking our office's butt

The office (that used to be a girls bedroom, and she apparently thought that putting gum all over the floor and on the trim work was a good thing to do) is now somewhere we would actually like to be!

We started off by scraping the pop corn off the ceiling, and of course mudding, sanding, and painting. Then we painted the walls, trim work and we were really starting to see major improvements! We were getting pretty excited and there was just one more thing that we needed to do- the light fixture.

Preston and I had seen some fan/lights at Home Depot and so we set off! After looking at those fans, we decided to look at Lowes, nothing. So we looked at a smaller store, and decided to go back to Home Depot. Picked out a beautiful fan and putting it in was a snap!!

While we were getting our fan, we saw THE COOLEST LIGHTBULBS EVER! Yes folks, the Edison Light bulb is now on the shelves of Home Depot. It was a splurge for us, at about $8 a bulb we could only afford one. Once we got home, we couldn't wait to see our new light bulb in action! As we marvled at it's beauty, Preston said to me: "If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be sitting in my kitchen, at 7pm on a Saturday night having the time of my life looking at an amazing light bulb, I would say you are crazy!" But since we are crazy, and pretty lame we were both extremely excited! Now we are just waiting to be able to afford more!

Got the first coat of polyurethane on the office floor, and it's looking AMAZING! Here are some before and after pictures and also a picture of our new cool lightbulb!
