Admittedly, Royal Lighting did have some of the nicest lights we've seen so far. And some of the lights were super expensive. We must have been in the store only 2 minutes before we spotted the biggest disco ball I've ever seen. It was 5 feet tall and made of hundreds of crystals. I assume they were crystals because the sale price was $37,999.99!! $40K for a light fixture?? Crazy! I'd rather spend that money on a car!
We kept looking and actually ended up buying 7 light fixtures. The sales were amazing! Plus, Gary and I have discovered how to really save money - buy outdoor fixtures!! I had wanted some cool hanging lights for our hallway and spotted a few for $150 - $200 on sale. I liked them, but felt they were too delicate. I wanted something more textured and weathered. When we got to the outdoor lighting, I saw exactly what I was looking for. Who cares if they are outdoor lights? They're beautiful! Plus, they were on sale! My hallway lights were only $59! We ended up buying lights for the hallway (2), main entry, den, backyard, porch and outdoor garage light.
We also found the mirror for the living room! I've been searching for a mirror roughly 3' x 4' with a silver coloured frame. The ones I found were over $500, or were too big, too small or in black. I was going to give up and just buy two smaller mirrors at home depot and put them together. But Royal lighting had the perfect mirror, on sale for $129. Done!!!
Now all we have to do is.. gulp.. put up the lights. I'm no electrician - I'm much better at putting Ikea furniture together. It's already proving to be a bit of challenge. As I type this, Gary is out buying 'Chain Pliers'. We tried to put the lights up by using regular pliers, but it didn't work. Sigh. I don't think we'll end up getting all 7 lights up today. Now I'm hoping we get at least 1!
