Let there be light...and speakers...and shelving...

When John Orfield stops by, the sky is truly the limit. 

First on the list: wall sconces.

Get em outta here! We left the hard electrical work to the dad. 



Updated sconces were from Lowe's (our go-to spot) for 20 dollars each!




Next came some father-daughter flea market perusing.

Old barrel side table! Perfect for the lamp we bought at the Ithaca Antique Mall a few weeks ago!




Next Task: Dining Room Lighting
Step 1: Throw away/chuck/destroy/demolish heinous bathroom lighting above dining room table.
Step 2: Purchase old stadium light from flea market.


Step 3: Step back and let Papa Orfield do some some old fashioned jigging, and metal drilling, and all around risky electric wiring. 


Voila!!






After all the lighting, we put John hard to work on a few other tasks:
  • FENCING in the backyard! Our puppies can now roam wild. 
  • SHELVING in Elana's room - much needed!
  • STEREO SYSTEM in the living room and bedrooms


It was a big weekend here for JYD.
