The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on...

FIRE! The framing is almost complete, the roof is on, and they even put the pretty black paper on the roof (AKA Tar Paper)!
Check it out:

I also bought some kick ass lighting for my kitchen this weekend! I ordered 3 pendants to hang over the island and a "chandelier" of sorts to put over my table in the "nook"
I found them at a lovely home boutique in Crown Point, called Dwelling. Unfortunately they are no longer carrying lighting but here are some pics!

Here is the nook light

Here is the pendant

Now I need to find the perfect entry chandelier for a 16 foot ceiling and a chandelier for my modern-traditional dining room that I'm envisioning. I will be using my Grandmother's Dining Room table (that was given to my grandparents as a wedding gift but I don't want it too be too 1930's formal, so I need to find the perfect balance with an area rug and chandelier)!

Any suggestions? The dining room is right next to the foyer and I am using Oil-Rubbed Bronze finishes throughout (for door handles, hinges, etc).

What about this one?

Or this one?

or this one?



Two completely different lights that I love! Any thoughts? Do any of my interior designer friends out there have suggestions? I already broke the budget with the kitchen lighting, I can't kill it with the chandeliers too!

  2. I personally like the second light. I like how the shades are a lighter color so you could go darker in the rug or darker on the walls.

  3. I LOVE the first one, but I agree that the second one might be better as thru the years, you can change the shades and get more use out of it! I think that if you go with the first one, it might be the ONLY look you can get from it! So, my choice from personal experience of need for change is the second one! I like it alot too! Great choices on lighting!
