Hey, there!
I love the lighting you’ve chosen, and I agree – bronze fixtures are really pretty and make the home feel more lived in. I have a question: Is there a type of bulb that I can buy that puts off a more ambient light; say, more of a soft candlelight? I want to put them in our foyer chandelier. It seems like this type color would be a more pleasing color light bulb. What do you think?

Rhoda,
Wow, what a sweet bargain, it’s going to look just beautiful, can’t wait to see it hung. I love your choices for the dining room, in fact I saw a show recently where they used the one with the candle looking lights in someone’s living room, and it’s gorgeous. I too have the brass fixture in my dining room and foyer..and I suppose I’ll leave them, but I did change my kitchen to the bronze fixture, and the bedrooms too, I like both. Good luck with your selections, I’m sure they’ll be beautiful as always.

Funny story about the light fixture. What a great guy to hunt one down for you, it’s great looking. It will be a nice improvement over the one in the foyer. I remember those.

The DR one doesn’t look like anything you’ve even had before. I’m sure you will find one at a good price any day now! I’ll stayed tuned to see what you get.

I love lighting. I think you got some very special deals. Next time I need new lighting, I am calling you to go with me to shop!

I, too, suffer from what my husband calls a “light fixture fetish”. What can I say? I think lighting is important and I love getting new ones. I like the bronze look, too. Having said that, I guess I should confess that most of ours in this house are the satin nickel. My husband loves that finish. Me? I’d rather go with the bronze. My favorite light in the whole house is actually in our “toilet” room in the master bath. It’s a glass, beaded, kind of art-deco style light that just really does it for me. Hmm. Maybe I should seek some sort of therapy because it sounds like light fixtures may affect my mood much more than they probably should. lol
Love you new light, by the way and hope you find a great one for the dining room soon!

What a pretty home you have. I personally really like the Pottery Barn chandelier, but I suppose hubby deserves a say too!

I’m loving your choices for your home. I’ve been slowly changing out our lighting. We’ve been here 16 years! I have the bathrooms and foyer left to do.

Isn’t lighting fun?? I love your new ones (you know you’ll find that second one…you are a master bargain hunter) and I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Have fun on your search,
Linda

I, too, am obsessed by lighting. We are spiffing up our place in anticipation of a mega party in spring (My mom’s 90th b-day and my son’s college graduation.) Luckily, my husband isn’t into lighting, although he gets to vote on room colors! Good luck.
