Lighting update

Our SR acknowledged the upgrade mistake and offered to swap out any of our lights for what we thought we were getting.  However, after looking at everything again in person, we decided to keep what we paid for.  The upgraded hallway lights come with three bulbs in each fixture instead of two, so that's a plus. I think the reason I was a little thrown off by the semi-flush mount upstairs is because we've never had those before--we've always had the flush mount "boob" lights. If we get sick of them, we can always swap them out at a later date.

 The vanity lights were never in question--we liked those.

Also, we figured out why our foyer light was hanging by a chain instead of the semi-flush mount.  The light can be hung either way and the electrician decided to hang it with the chain.  I understand why.  If we had wanted it with the chain and he'd already shortened the cord, he wouldn't have been able to undo it.  This is how the foyer light will look hung as a semi-flush mount:

I like it much better that way and it will coordinate with the dining room chandelier:

I'm still not sure we would have purposely upgraded to this lighting package, but it worked out in the end.  I think we can live with these fixtures for a long time before feeling the need to replace them. :)
