Before and After: Hanging Hallway Light

New Light UpcloseThis week’s Before and After features our new hallway light. Light fixtures are easy to swap out and can make a dramatic improvement in any room. The hallway hasn’t changed much since we purchased the house.  Now it has a fresh coat of paint and a new light.

After some searching, we found this fixture from Progress Lighting at Home Depot. It’s a standard light with leaf accents that give it some character. It went up with only a few snags. I’d recommend putting the base screws into the ceiling plate first. Then, put the base on (rather than trying to insert the screw while holding the base up). The wires had a nice sleeve which made maneuvering them a snap.
