DIY: How to Replace a Light Fixture

This time of year gets very busy with all the prepping for the holidays. If you are trying to update your homes during this season it can get a little overwhelming. With this in mind, I think a great place to start is with new lighting. It’s one of the quickest and easiest ways to transform a space. A new chandelier in the dining room, entry way or new pendants over the kitchen island will have a beautiful impact on the overall look and feel of your home. Today, I want to share with you an example of a dining room where the new light made all the difference and how you can easily replace your light fixtures yourself.

For this dining room I wanted a chandelier that was grand enough to make a statement, but with a pretty coastal vibe. The white hanging beads and gold details of this light were the perfect fit for this space. This light was a splurge, but well worth it.

Having someone replace the lighting throughout your house can really add up. Fortunately, I’ve found an excellent resource for how to replace a light fixture.
