Design: Shining the Spotlight on Lighting

I have too many tabs open on my computer right now. Most of them are related to lighting, specifically lighting products and lighting guides. So instead of keeping all the tabs open for much longer, I’m going to do a photo dump in this post, so we can all benefit from some of the pretty lights that are floating around the marketplace right now.

I came across J.D. Lighting in Tillsonburg, Ontario in the newest issue of House & Home magazine. They carry a lot of items – both in lighting and home decor – that I’m drawn to. Much of what I’m sharing here is also approved by my beau, so that’s a bonus!

flush mount, $255CAD, Mitzi via J.D. Lighting ($164USD at Mitzi)
pendant, $236CAD, Hudson Valley via J.D. Lighting
pendant, medium, $389CAD, Hinkley via J.D. Lighting
flush mount, $279CAD, Hinkley via J.D. Lighting

Mitzi has a cool collection of lights. I like a lot of them, but not all of them suit our house. This modern chandelier stands out to me.

Burke Decor in the United States also has an interesting selection of lighting and home decor items.

The primary goal at our house is to find a chandelier for our dining room before the one-year anniversary of our move-in date in June. My secondary goal (my beau only sort of knows about this one) is to replace all the fixtures in the house soon thereafter…starting with our front hall.

Design: Table Lamps

While we don’t currently need any table lamps, I seem to be collecting images of ones that I like. For some odd reason, it’s been much easier for me to find and save images of table lamps that I like rather than ceiling lights and sconces. Why is that?

If I was in need of a table lamp, all of these six would be on my wish list.

The Friday Five: Unusual Lighting Options

I don’t have any need for new light fixtures at the moment, but a few unusual ones have caught my eye, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to share them with you.
