I was recently asked to do a room makeover using GE Lighting!
Now that sounded like a fun challenge! Lighting is HUGE!!!
Sometimes changing the lighting in a room can change the whole atmosphere!
Annnd I had the perfect room in mind that needed a little something…my kitchen!
So I headed to Walmart to pick up the things I needed for my makeover!
As usual Walmart did not disappoint!
It’s shelves were stocked full of lighting choices!
So much to choose from!
I LOVED all the options from GE Lighting.
Lots has changed since the last time I went shopping for light bulbs!
{You can check out my whole shopping trip HERE.}
So here’s the run down on what I wanted to change in our kitchen. We have a very long kitchen. We have plenty of light coming in on one end. Our table sits right in front of our patio doors & a window so during the day we get lots of natural light, but at night it’s a different story! The light fixtures in our kitchen were waaaay too small. So at night it was dark! So I wanted to change that up! We also had out dated light bulbs that were not energy efficient! Not good! I am all about saving some money. So it was time to swap out those old bulbs for some new energy efficient ones!
So here is what it looked like before:
I picked up some GE LED decorative candle bulbs for our chandelier. I also picked up some GE Reveal light bulbs. What I LOVED about both of these bulbs was that they looked like normal bulbs! I’m not a huge fan of the swirly twirly type bulbs, so I was super excited about their design! They are suppose to last 7+ years, too! Yay!
Walmart also carries light fixtures, but I couldn’t find the exact one I wanted so on the way home we swung by a home improvement store, & I found a track lighting fixture that was a perfect match to the lights we already have. So we grabbed that. I knew that with the combination of the new bulbs & more lighting it was going to be AWESOME!
I couldn’t wait to get home & put my hubby to work! {Thanks, honey! You’re the best!}
Below is a picture I took later on that night! Wowzers!
Do you see all that light in my kitchen???
It’s amazing! We can see! Yay!
It almost make me want to get in there & cook something…almost! 
I LOVE the new GE Lighting in our kitchen! We really should of done this a long time ago!
I also love that we will be saving money in the long run by using energy efficient light bulbs.
Now if I can just get my kiddos to remember to turn their lights off when they leave a room & to close the door when they go outside we’d be doing even better! 
I also figured out that by replacing the 6 bulbs in our kitchen with energy efficient bulbs
I will save almost $40 annually & over $200 over the life of the bulbs.
