we did not get new lights for the ones over the stairway (to keep within budget), but did replace the glass with something a little more contemporary.
the old ones kind of looked like this. not really our style at all.
we (well, actually aaron...but i get credit for taking photos, right?) then mounted a new light fixture where the ceiling fan used to be. we were ready to shell out $80-90 for track lighting, but aaron found a great deal in the clearance section on new track lights for $40 (they were last year's model).
there was actually a decent sized hole in the ceiling from where the fan was installed, but it ended up being a pretty simple fix with a little bit of drywall and some spackle (i would have gone up there to take photos of the process, but it was really cold that week and that attic is still drafty).
once we save up a little more money, i think we will go ahead and replace the windows with something a little more energy efficient than the drafty ones we have.
i now have the honorable duty of cleaning up all the dust and debris.

Its looking really good up there. You'll be a pro by the time we do ours right?? Hint hint...
Those are great lights... You're making great progress, it seems! The challenge of balancing cost and functionality is always tough.
I love it! What a wonderful new space in your home!
