Thanks to all who entered the Rejuvenation Giveaway. The lucky winner of $100 gift certificate is Kat!
And I just followed all of Rejuvenation’s boards on Pinterest (must have been confused by visiting the site all the time).
Congrats Kat. I hope you buy yourself something lovely.
I am personally obsessed with this Hood Pendant!
Sorry I missed you guys yesterday… big presentation and couldn’t fit in a shoot. As a result of that, I will have to reveal my dining room chandelier another time. But today you are still in for treat because I’m sharing my lovely kitchen pendants. I waffled for awhile on what to buy but am so happy with my choice. The mix of brass and glass is just the chic look I was going for the scale is perfection. At 10″ wide they are substantial but not too big for my 54″ island. Mini pendants are so JV in my book… I want something that makes a statement! The fact that these are mostly see-through helps them from feeling too overwhelming and doesn’t block my back art-wall too much.

We are continuing on with Lighting Week. On Monday I showed you my guest room plug-in pendant light, on Tuesday I revealed my bedroom glass chip chandelier, and today I’m sharing my stringball chandelier in the third floor lounge. I’ve posted about this light before, but I thought it would interesting to see it in context. This room is still pretty much an empty canvas. After I removed all of the walls and painted the floors and ceiling white, I’ve pretty much let it sit in this state. It will probably be the last room I finish and I’m ashamed to say I don’t spend much time up here because it is such a cute space.
This room is all about being white and bright with pops of color and texture. My stringball chandelier was perfect up here because it adds a nice modern touch while also being textural and organic. While unlit, it is an unassuming little sculpture, but when illuminated, it transforms this space into a cozy crystal.
I did not DIY this light, but there are many tutorials out there.
I bought mine while shopping at Structube in Canada.
As I mentioned, the light is at its best when lit- creating a dream like space.
Unfortunately I do not have the photographic skillz to capture the beauty.
There is a lot more to be done in this room, but that’s OK. I’ll get to it when I get to it.
In the meanwhile, it’s a good spot for a pug to nap.

In honor of my Rejuvenation Giveaway, I decided to make this week all about the lighting in my cottage. When it comes to decorating my own home, I am aggressively thrifty, but one area where I have dropped a few dimes is lighting. I think lighting is just delightful: it creates instant atmosphere and easily elevates a whole room. I don’t care if your space (ahem, my space) is a mish-mash of Ikea and vintage furnishings, the right light can make it cosmopolitan.
Today I’m sharing my bedroom chandelier. It’s a white glass chip piece that kind of reminds me of a murano chandelier and also has a beachy wibe. It adds a nice softness to the room, while actually being quite bright. The small frame allows me to use it comfortably in a room that only has 8′ ceilings.
The chandelier is this steal from Lamps Plus.
Only $199.
I was worried that for that price the glass chips would be crappy, but it’s really cute.
No Murano, OBVIOUSLY, but a very cute light.
And NO, Lamps Plus is sadly not sponsoring this post.
And while my post is about my chandy, I just have to share my basket I picked up at HomeGoods. I never score at that store and last weekend I got a little lucky. I’ll be sharing more finds later.
Do you guys Likey?

Reveal Day!
When choosing a light fixture for my guest room, I could claim that I wanted something shapely and interesting. Something that could stand alone, yet also blend with other styles and pieces of the room. But honestly I just chose a light that I liked the best. I actually chose the light first and then chose the room to put it in. At some point I may move it to the living room or 3rd floor lounge. That’s the joy of a plug-in fixture. High style and low commitment.
I chose the Aurene Teardrop Art Glass Shade by Rejuvenation. Not knowing the exact color the gold sheen glass would be, I opted for contrast and paired it with an oil-rubbed bronze socket and black cord. In the future I might choose a white cord. Honestly, you don’t see much of the cord though, because I tucked it inside a cord chase that I painted the same color as the wall. (You can spy it in the corner of the room.)
Here is your up-close-and-personal detail of the shade. I love how it plays off the gold theme I have in the room but also has its own little story going on.
When lit, it really cozies up this corner. You can see here that I hung the light from a hook in the ceiling and plugged it in by my console table. So convenient.
The view from the entry makes me happy now.
I wanted the guest room to feel collected, warm and a little eclectic.
The small frame of the shade allowed me to also hang art without worrying about visual overload.
So that’s what I did with my Baltimore Custom Light fixture. What would you do? Here’s your chance…
