This post is a LONG time coming – and not just because it’s been forever since I’ve blogged! It’s taken me seven years to make up my mind on a chandelier for my breakfast nook and then find one I won’t get tired of as soon as it’s installed, but I’m excited to say I’ve…

roundup: budget-friendly oversize lantern lighting
It’s no secret I love oversize lantern chandeliers; I happen to think the bigger, the better!

dramatic outdoor lighting
I’m on the hunt for some dramatically oversize lantern lights for my front porch-my current ones are beautiful, but they just aren’t cutting it for me, size-wise, and when it comes to making a fabulous first impression, bigger is almost always better! While I go back and forth over front door colors (still don’t know…

luxe for less: bling chandelier
Robert Abbey’s Bling Chandelier has always been one of my favorites and it was the first thing that popped into my head when sourcing lighting to add a bit of glam to a client’s living room I’m working on. Unfortunately, the $1400 price tag was a tad bit out of reach, so I beat feet…
