We also cleaned out our Tupperware cupboard and our pots and pans for him. It was truly fortuitous timing as now we have much more room in the kitchen cabinets for our wedding acquisitions. And that brings me to… the kitchen light fixture! (I know, I’m the queen of segue). I guess because it’s over the kitchen table and we’re talking about getting rid of things…ok, you can’t get there… Anyway, check out the crappy pic of the crappy light fixture that came with our house (above the table):
(sorry Meghan, it was the only picture I could find with the fixture in it and since it’s 8:30 and I’m STILL AT WORK I wasn’t going to be taking another one tonight :( )
I’m not sure what I want to use yet. I like the mod fixtures I’m finding but I don’t really think they work in my French bistro/diner wannabe kitchen. It is decorated with vintage-looking tin signs and my tea tin collection (which evolved from the wedding centerpieces I originally wanted... and then changed my mind…but that’s another story….yes I like ellipses, why do you ask?). Here are some ideas. Keep in mind, my approach to decorating is basically two-fold: 1) Do I like this? And 2) Do I think it looks nice there?
Found these guys at crib candy. They might be a little too much for me but I figured someone else might like them.


This one is the only one from west elm that I thought might work.

And finally, pottery barn. These guys had a really great selection and they weren't super expensive either.



Hmmmm.... got lots of thinking to do.
Yep, just ignore my giant head nomming on a piece of broccoli ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the "diner-y" ones personally.
it could be worse... you could have had your mouth open or taking a bite or something :)
