Once again, it is Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susanat Between Naps on the Porch when everyone shows off their before and after pictures. Be sure to go by Susan's to check for a list of the participants.
This week I would like to show an update project on our 1980s house. We were beginning to have some problems with our ceiling light fixtures, and decided it was time to update. Of course, one thing led to another so we decided to change out all of the door knob sets to match the new light fixtures.
Here are the old 1980 brass door knobs.
And the new bronze ones.
The old brass ceiling fixtures.
And the new bronze-finished ones.
We replaced the ceiling-mount fixture over our meat block in the kitchen with a new three-light chandelier.
Individually, the change out didn't give us a lot of bang for our buck; but over all of the house, it was updated considerably. And we feel much safer with our new light fixtures!Now, a metamorphosis of the best kind. I have posted before about my daughter's battle with the worst kind of brain cancer - a stage 4 glioblastoma. Some of you may remember this picture of her really bad hair day while she was still in ICU. At this point, they were giving this 33-year old mother of two young ones only 12-14 months to live.
This week she celebrates her three-year survival anniversary. She had a MRI last week, and it was all clear of the tumor once again.
I'm posting about this again because I know there are those of you that are dealing with some serious health issues. I want to let you know to keep praying and to keep your spirits up. There are miracles out there - maybe one with your or your loved ones name on it!!!!
