Let there be (less) light!

Our house has so many lights.  Too many to count.
And with lights come:

Switches....lots of switches

Most of the time, when we hit the switch to turn off a light, we actually end up turning on another light.  We are constantly searching for the right switch.

If you look carefully, you will see 7 of the 14  switches we have in our living room and entry.  That was not a typo or an exaggeration.  14 switches and bagillions of bulbs.

Our master bathroom has 5 light switches and 14 light bulbs.

Perfect for those with cataracts, like our dog Rex, or for people with small, unworking pupils who like spontaneous puzzle-solving throughout the day and paying high-cost energy bills, or for descendants of Thomas Edison.

Ri-friggin-diculous! for the average person.

Master bath:  6 light bulbs in these two fixtures alone, not including shower light, toilet light/fan, and vanity lights.

There are always bulbs that either a) burned out b) shorted out or c) broken out (previous owner liked to bust out bulbs and leave the casings.  I am beginning to understand why!  Too many bulbs!)

....I am slowly slipping into a brightly lit insanity...so bright....so pretty....

So, for my last project, I reduced our lightbulb load by 3 by replacing the above ceiling fan with this:

Just a plain little fan.

Now if I can just find the right switch to turn it on!
