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.

It's such a gorgeous light fixture! We use those bulbs through out our home & it have saved us a lot over the years!
Love the new lighting! I've been working on updating the lighting in our home and need to focus on our kitchen soon. I really like your chandelier. 🙂
That is absolutely stunning!! What a difference in your kitchen; that's awesome!
LOVE that chandelier in your dining kitchen!! Amazing what new bulbs will do to a room!
That looks so great … it's amazing what a difference lighting can make in a room.
Wow! It really added a ton of light!
I love it!!! Makes such a difference! I like those flame bulbs… so glad they are updating the look of cfl's now!
Interesting addition to read on the site about the completion of your project. The article was enjoyed.
love the bulbs and lighting!
I've been making light changes at home in the last year too. It feels great because it looks better and the bill is reduced.
I think lamps and lights change the whole atmosphere of some homes. If it is too dull or old looking, it may create a more gloomy mood for people. I like my den to be semi-bright with lots of green colors. The cheap bulbs are really too bright. The new GE lights solve that issue for me.
