TGIF

Those lights I posted on yesterday.  Do you wonder how it all comes together? 

When the idea came about I did a quick sketch to see if the architect and homeowner thought it might look good too.  So I shot over a quick email… it said “what do you think about adding a collection of lights over the buffet?  Not sure what kind or exactly how many… but here’s the idea:”

They all agreed… so then we fine tuned.  I selected the CX Designs Cristallo lights, I thought that they were not only beautiful but their scale (in a collection) worked best for the space.  And then I did the best I could to draw them to scale in the elevation…  CX-designs-lighting-layout

Then we made it official…

Over the dining table nearby hangs the Cellula Chandelier and I really felt they all worked well together.  This is a more contemporary house and it has been fun working a tad outside my comfort zone.  cellula

So, back to the pendants.  Of course JTE needed to be updated so we sent him revised electrical plan (unlike this shown below his was dimensioned so he knew exactly how to space the lights):

And… one more shot of the finished product (thanks Christine!)

And… someone requested a picture of my girl… she’s working with me today… since she has a social security number we’ve put her on payroll and now she is the Executive Lighting Selector in our office.  Can you tell?

Chandelier 

Pardon the cobwebs. 

Yesterday I bought this antique Italian Tole chandelier for the nursery.

I'm leaning towards soft pink walls and a darker shade of the same color on ceiling.   

Did you notice the rope that bunches the flowers together at the base?  That detail totally sealed the deal for me. 

And… if it's not a girl, this might be for sale tomorrow.
