Light fixture line discontinued

So I have looked at literally thousands of chandeliers and light fixtures over the past 2 years to find just the right ones. I finally found them in the Kenroy Inverness  line. I bought a large chandelier for the entry and a smaller one for the dining room. When they came, I loved them so much that I bought the pendants for the kitchen. Tom chastised me for buying stuff 'not needed for our C.O.' (Certificate of Occupancy) but I was worried they wouldn't be available later so I got them anyway. Now I want some flush mount ceiling lights for the nook and downstairs hallway to match and they were discontinued! Luckily, I was able to find them and a mirror with 2 lights on either side for the guest bathroom on EBay for less than the original place wanted before they said they were discontinued! 
Oh, and the original place wanted $378 for the mirror with lights... I paid $222 on EBay with free shipping and the ceiling lights were $90 less as well. :-)

More Railing pics

I can't believe how beautifully everything is coming together on this house...


Oh my goodness, dining room view

Hmmm... Guess I'll have to spruce up the 'flower' bed in front after the house is done. I have dozens of different irises out there that haven't bloomed in years because they've been neglected. It will make for a nice spring view from this window.

Master bath lights

While it will be more impressive with cabinets, counters and mirrors, it is progress and I like it!
