Lighting for a grand entrance

We are fortunate to have a large foyer in our house. It's the perfect place to kick off your shoes, park the wagon and wipe off the dog after a walk. And until recently, we did all those things in the dark, as there was no light fixture in the foyer.


Not good. To make the entrance to our home as grand as possible, we bought a very impressive fixture at Lowe's.



Mr. Electric installed it. He also put in the 100 watt bulbs we bought to make our entrance as bright and grand as possible.




Count 'em: nine 100 watt bulbs. For a chandelier. That's grand, right?




Now, turning on the light in the foyer is like turning on the sun itself.




We may have overdone it with the grand. Just a bit.
