Some of you might be wondering what the outcome of the exterior lighting deliberation was for the Indiana project. I did make my selections and here’s what we ended up with,
Restoration Hardware’s Rutherford sconces for the back of the house. I know, it wasn’t on the list.
And for the front, the Sea Gull fixtures (#13). Right now I’m having second thoughts about the Sea Gull, its a little small. I’m considering ordering the Rutherford for the front too.
Also purchased was #3, the swan neck will be mounted over the back door. Its a pretty big fixture in the box, the electrician will hold it up in place tomorrow so we can see if it will work.
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.

The Moravian star pendant is popping up everywhere. I’m thinking about putting one in the upstairs hall at the Indiana project. I think it will give that little hallway some charm. I love them at the entry, inside or out.

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.
This jade green beauty from Tavern on the Green being auctioned off this month now that the legendary NYC restaurant has closed its doors. It is amazing!
This cloud chandelier by design house Fusion Z is so stunning I can’t imagine having a room worthy of its opulence.
My tacky side (about 94% of me) wants this disco ball by Front Design (found via Curbly).
This capiz shell lotus lamp by Graham and Green is so soft it would be amazing in my bedroom.
and what is Sarah’s pick for a game changing chandelier…the arctic pear available at Ochre.
The Martha Stewart French Task Swing Arm Sconce is on sale at Macy’s right now, $99.50…
I just thought you might like to know, I mean I got a little excited.
If you’re in the market for some lighting right now, I’d peruse Macy’s selection.
I need you to go take a look at the plethora of lamp awesomeness that is on Ebay. I always loved the Parker lamp collection by Jonathan Adler, the ones with the brass geometric designs.
Auctions end on Monday. See ALL OF THEM HERE!
Is this kick ass for an entryway or what? Dining room, powder room-instant upgrade. Its on sale at Shades of Light for $199.
