Next stop was cabinet hardware. I didn't see anything that really jumped out at me. There was some foo foo expensive stuff that was, well, expensive. Another problem is they didn't have enough of any item on stock. I need a bunch. So, I think I'm going to see if I can find some online.
That left lighting fixtures (and one ceiling fan). The fan was easy but I wasn't sure what I wanted for light fixtures. I saw these really bright and modern looking LED lights. I asked the guy what the bulbs look like. He had no clue. He said they haven't had these very long. So, he took one apart. (see pic below) There is no bulb. Or at least not what you think of as a bulb. And apparently when it dies you just replace the whole thing. I dunno. He said they are guaranteed for 50,000 hours. Seems like a lot.
I decided to take a chance and go with them. But they didn't have enough on stock (ugh). And, there was this really cool crystal like led light that would be great in the dining room. I wish I had taken a picture. They were out of that too. The guy said all of the LEDs have been really popular even though they haven't had them long at all.
That left pendants. They have mix and match where you buy the hardware and pic out the glass you want. There was one that was perfect. But there was only one. Ugh.
So, I pretty much needed to go to another Lowe's. There really aren't that many in St. Petersburg so it's a bit of a drive. I found the closest one but the closer I got the weirder it seemed. It was just in a neighborhood - not on a main road. LOL, it was Lowe's Trailer Park. Ha!
I did eventually find another one and they had exactly the number of lights I needed. But they only had one of the pendant light I wanted. I grabbed a guy and he looked it up and he said they had 12. He disappeared and came back about 5 minutes later with the ladder thingy. This guy was even older than me. I'd say at least 70. He could barely reach the boxes. But he got them without breaking anything or falling off the ladder.
Delivered the lights to the condo and called it a day. Pretty good day.
My pile O lights. Great photography, eh?
