Sam had decided that it was time to replace
our backdoor lights. Which I had already done a decade
ago when I upgraded them from the builder's basic.
She admitted she never truly liked them.
They where called a dark sky design because
the light was only allowed to shine downward.
You can see the sun was pretty rough on the shade,
even causing some kind of rust or burn to form.
A few weeks ago while browsing through Lamps Plus,
we came across a group of clearance lights.
Sam and I immediately fell for these vintage style
wall lights that looked as though
they belong in a park.
From the John Timberland Collection
"Stylish and contemporary, this outdoor
wall light features a black finish
with white opal glass and an
energy efficient, LED design."
Originally $179.99 we took two home for
$62.86 each plus a 10% off discount
for being a rewards customer!!
How cool is that?
I immediately put the lights up out back!
Under Cher's supervision.
I had no idea the LED inside would be
so small and flat, I wondered how
well it would light up at night!
The glass shade just twisted on.

Maybe not the most proper style for a
stucco home but we love 'em
and we can imagine we are out in a
park when they're lit up! |
Which I might add, is very bright
and has a beautiful glow!
It will be even easier to imagine
we are in a park when I install
the other two lights we bought that night!
The John Timberland
Byram miniature pole "path" lights,
also on clearance for $19.98 each.
They only had two left in stock.
Aren't they the cutest things?
Now I need to install a backyard transformer
and run low voltage cable around the backyard
to make them work.
Once installed they will light up the back
like an amusement park.
All that's left is a new light for the front porch.
We have our sights set on this delightful one from Lowes
The Allen + Roth Grandura which ties
in nicely with our stucco covered
"Mediterranean style" house!
That will be an install blog post
in the near future, I hope!
Thanks for stopping by and
happy bargain hunting!
