Rejuvenation Projects Blog

The very first thing that happened in our living room/dining areas was the addition of boxes for lighting – before ordering from Rejuvenation, I went into my “stock” and pulled out these to be place holders:

An antique, not quite period appropriate for the house but nice enough.

At this point, we had found an art deco mantle and had taped off its dimensions.  We used these to indicate where the new lights should be wired.  As soon as we had the lights in place, I got all excited about our living room/dining room reno and ordered my lights from Rejuvenation.  The first one arrived and it looked like this….

A sad day for package delivery in Canada - the box looked like it had had some Tough Love.

I had feared ordering something across borders – I called up customer service (who were, of course, very kind and helpful) and a little while later, a new pile appeared.

I’ll admit, I was a little afraid to check it out!  But I soon ripped into the boxes and discovered…

One piece! It was like Christmas come early in our house.

I have to tell you – for me, home decor and renovating ALWAYS leads back to lighting so when I opened up my new Blairmount light fixture (in polished nickel with the 16″ ivory shade) I was ecstatic to see the high quality and style in person.  Of course, before finishing any of the other projects for our space, I had to get it up.

A nice start - the light installed.

Still outstanding?  Everything.  Just imagine this space with refinished floors, new drapes, reupholstered chairs, no cat tower… My next post will be all about our fireplace demo!
