It is time to select the outdoor lighting for both the front and back of the Indiana house. As we approach completion, finish electrical and plumbing work are next on the list.
I usually purchase both the interior and exterior lighting from various online sources. One retailer that I often return to is CSN Lighting. CSN Lighting offers a variety of lighting ranging from landscape lighting to interior track lighting.
I’d like for the fixture to have a little of the craftsman element but not too obvious. Do you have a favorite here?

I’m really drawn to this bathroom. What a mix…lacquered accessories, modern wallpaper, and classic touches.

This bathroom made me think of the Calhoun sconce that is on sale at Pottery Barn. After seeing this sconce I immediately started brainstorming about where I could put it.

My friend Frank from the AudioMuffin has a thing for Robot Music. I have a little something for Robot Lamps. I like that they have a persona. I feel like they would speak to me and say really helpful and kind things. Then I started seeing these big robot lamps around and I had to ask myself, “What WOULD it be like if machines took on free will?” I’d surely like to be around these sweet ass over-sized guys if that happens.

Alia from Sweetshorn Vintage writes about her latest object of affection, the chandelier…
I bought a vintage red glass chandelier similar to this one at a thrift store last summer.
Due to the fact that I don’t have a boudoir-esque dressing room in my house it has been stashed in a guest room until we buy a place where it can be hung more permanently. I’ve been shopping around to have it rewired and found it will cost $200.
That doesn’t seem like much if you have a $1000 piece but mine was only $40. Plus, I found the chandelier pictured above for only $179 at Home Depot that is ready to hang.
So I have major chandelier envy. It seemed like a passing trend having been printed on everything from dish towels to wall decals, but I’ve always wanted one in my home.
