Shine a little light on it

Evan and I are bargain hunters. As I mentioned before, we LOVE the Habitat ReStore. We are also fortunate to have some awesome outlets near our house. We were regulars at Pottery Barn and West Elm Outlets. They have the best lighting and hot dog - you can get some DEALS. #notanadjustafan

Evan and I found this eight fixture light from Pottery Barn. I think we may have even gotten this before we had started demo. We loved the globes but wanted more of them. PB said they sometimes get more in but we would need to check regularly. A few months later, we just happened upon another one. And it was on sale. Kismet.

Evan and his dad (shoutout Dennis!) made a new base out of some very special lumber that we've been saving. Story: my mom grew up on a farm in Nebraska. Several years ago, the barn we all used to play in was blown down in a tornado. Heartbreaking to say the least. Grandma and Grandpa had the presence of mind to save as much of the lumber as they could and were generous enough to share it with family. Evan rewired the PB pendants into the barn wood base, wired it to a plug (so that we can take it with us wherever we go) and then he and his dad installed it. House was starting to feel like home.
