Lighting Dilemma: Solved

More than two years ago, I wondered what to do about the lighting in the front entryway. And now I know that it is easier to convince your better half that the lighting fixture is not "antiquey looking" than it is to actually make the change.

I'm happy with it. Between that and the different paint color on the door, we're going to call this good enough for now. I'd still like to change out the brick-pattern linoleum to something different (slate tiles maybe?). But somehow the linoleum doesn't bother me as much with the old light gone.
