Punched Tin is a Wonderful Thing

My husband the handyman.  I really never thought that I could say that, but I love the fact that he is taking interest in it and I must say that it makes me so happy!  My Mom was so thoughtful when we were in Amish Country last weekend and bought me a punched tin light for my entryway.  I guess I don’t have to go on and on about how thoughtful my Mom is….. I am sure you already know how thoughtful she is and she doesn’t even need to buy me anything.  She indeed has a wonderful heart!!  I am truly blessed to have her for my Mom.

Well, my hubby hung my chandelier in my kitchen and last night, he decided to hang my new punched tin light in my entryway.  Oh ladies……he did a wonderful job and I must say that it looks absolutely beautiful, but then again I had no doubt (lol).  So, are you all ready to see it?  I never really knew how much prim light fixtures could warm up a home, but after seeing my tin light…..yep, it indeed made my entryway a nice warm place to enter our home.  I have never been fortunate enough to have fancy lighting like this so when my Mom mentioned to me that she wanted to buy me a light, I was super excited.  We pinch pennies alot here in home now that I am a stay at home Mom, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  After working with one company in Corporate America for over 10 years, it was hard to leave that job and most importantly the money, but if you would ask me if I would do it all over again for my son….. I would say “heck yeah”.  My son is my whole world and I would do anything for him.  I loved the fact that I didn’t miss a thing over the past 2 1/2 years of being with him.  What a blessing!

Ok, enough of my rambling….. here is my light fixture that I have been dying to show you all.  Isn’t it beautiful?

Doesn’t it look beautiful?  I just love it.  Thank you again Mom for being so thoughtful.  I am so very blessed.

This post is chuck full of goodness!  Let’s talk about that beautiful rusty handle above.  I must say that I absolutely fell in love with this piece when I found it at the Antique Mall last weekend.  I knew I could find a home for this beauty somewhere in my home and hopefully today I will.  Don’t you love the look of that old rusty handle?  Can you guess what I bought?  Well, if you guessed an old barn door then you are correct.  I thought it would either look great in a corner or even used as a small room divider.  The possibilities are endless.  So, are you all anxious to see it?  Well, here it is……..

I loved the color and though that it would be great to add a small splash of color in our family room.  Don’t you love it?  The reverse side of the door is just as neat.  Totally prim and perfect for my home.  I will keep you posted on where I put it.

Today is suppose to be in the mid 60’s here in Ohio so we are going to get out and enjoy the weather.  I leave you with this picture titled…. Precious Meets Prim.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  What a cutie pie.

Until Next Time…..

Prim Blessings, Lisa
