Light Help

So- we are inching closer to a finished dining room: We have painted, the table is almost finished, the chairs have arrived (just need to stain their legs), now it is time to add the lighting. This decision is making me nervous, because the right light can really make the room.

Love this one, in fact, since our table is so long, I would have 2. This is so clean and classic!


This one would only need one- still clean but dramatic!



Then there is this beauty!

Seriously - I can't decide. Okay, well clearly I have decided on white cloth pendant lights, but that is where I stop. Also - these things are not cheap, just because they are not all metal, doesn't make them any cheaper.

Any one you like better - and where to find them :)

I love Orange

Seriously - I do. And I can't help it. Why do you think that Nate gave me the nickname Pumpkin - not because it is cute and endearing, but because I am obessed with orange. I am in the process of adding orange to our office - and I am very excited about it. To get some inspiration, I decided to scour the internet. Below are some of the best Orange and Touch of Orange rooms I could find.

And saving the best for last - because not only does it have orange - it has my FAVORITE wall paper ever!!! Seriously - I am obsessed with this stuff - but for $199 a roll, I haven't been able to bring myself to take the plunge yet.

Soon I will have some pictures of my own touches of orange in my office!
