I chose a light fixture, bought it, and hung it in under 36 hours. I am ridiculously indecisive, so this is nothing short of a miracle. I had lots of help from my sidekick, who is on Spring Break.

The Bad News
The paint on our front door started to peel a few months ago. I decided to test and see what I was dealing with.
Yes, kids. That is 5 layers of paint. FIVE! Ugh. Notice those intricate little details? Nice huh? Until I realized I would be sanding all of those pretty little scrolls by hand. FIVE LAYERS.
Help me Jesus.

Well that's easy. Buy a new door. The time and energy spent on sanding and repainting could be better invested on other projects.
Paint + sandpaper = $50
New Door = $250
Ethan tells me he'd like to be fed and stuff, so the paint and sandpaper it is! :)
LOVE the light! also, didn't know you had a blog - - love the layout even more than the light :)
We have a sander. Want to borrow it?
I have a sander. What I need is a routing tool to get into all those nooks and crannies!
