Ever since we had the exterior of our house painted over 14 months ago, I've been dying to update the front porch lights. The oxidized brass torch lights from the 80s looked so dull and old up against the new bright house, but I struggled to find a style my husband and I liked, and one that fit the "look" of the house.
Old light
We didn't like any of the exterior lights Home Depot or Lowes had in stock and we didn't like anything we saw online that was in our price range…until I stumbled across this guy on Overstock.com…
New light
At the time we purchased it, it was under $50 and we were sold on the simple, mission-style modern design.
Before
After
As with any house project, there was a catch. The screws the light came with were too long, causing the light to hang off the wall.
We had to make a Lowes run to get a pack of smaller machine screws with washers and thankfully that did the trick.
The sleek silver light blends in much better with the rest of our updated exterior and it even gives off more light. Another small project checked off the list!
