Ginger Snap Crafts: GE {lighting} room makeover #GELighting

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.?
