Farmhouse Inspired Lighting

Hello everyone!

You may recall, in a previous post, that I said I ordered a new light fixture for my kitchen.  Well, it arrived today and my husband graciously hung it for me.  Yay! 

Here it is..............

I like how it flows with the rest of the decor.   The black and white color is bold  and really enhances the color scheme and  farmhouse feel I'm trying to capture.

It's also painted with chalkboard paint, so if I ever get creative and want to write anything on it, I can.  Not quite sure if I'll do that.  I don't want it to look strange.  ha!  But, don't be surprised if I post something written on it.  You just never know.  Ha!

The light came from Wuslu. 

The kitchen light is not the only one my husband hung for me.  He also hung this one in my powder room.

This is actually an outdoor light!  My sister came up with this great idea and suggested it to me.  Thank you Kim!!! Not only does it enhance the farmhouse feel of this bathroom, but it was VERY inexpensive!  I got this at Lowe's for only $25.00.  Now, I just need to replace the brass faucet in here and this room will be done.

I'm considering a faucet that looks like this.

This one is from Overstock.com.  I like the porcelain cross handle with it too.  My sister picked this one out.   She's great with suggestions for my bathroom.  She has alot of experience with doing her own, so I trust her advice.

Well, hope you liked my new lights!  I can't wait to see my kitchen light lit up at night. 

Thanks for stopping by!

New Goodies

Hello everyone! 

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  I certainly enjoyed catching up on my sleep this weekend.  It was nice to not have an agenda of any kind.

  I wanted to show you a couple of new items that just arrived.  I ordered them from my favorite online stores, Wuslu and Antique Farmhouse.  They should thank me for all the free advertising I'm giving them!  Ha!

If you're a follower of Miss Mustard Seed's blog, then you know how she has joined efforts with Wuslu in picking out a favorite item to promote each month. This was one of those items.

It's this really unique looking candle holder !  I actually spotted it before I saw it featured on her blog and knew I just had to have it. 

You can see that I placed it on my mantel.  Hope you're not tired of seeing pictures of it.

 I love the vintage look of it.  It is made of iron and glass. 

And, remember the pillow that I ordered from Antique Farmhouse?  Well, it arrived the same day too. 

I'm very pleased with it.  It now sits in the little side chair in the family room. 

Today, Wuslu had a fantastic deal on a light fixture that I had been thinking about for my kitchen.  It was so affordable that I just had to grab it!  It may still be available, if you're interested too.

Isn't it great?  It is a barn style pendant light coated in black chalkboard paint!  I don't know if I'll actually write on it, but I could if I wanted to.  Ha! I'll probably put my old chandelier in my master bathroom.  I'll remove the shades and spray paint it to match my other light fixtures in there.

Well, that's my "show and tell" for today!  Now, it's time to get ready for another week.  I've got to take my 18 yr old to the dentist tomorrow morning for some fillings.  Not a good way to start off the week. 

Thanks for stopping by!
