I love it when I am looking for something and then it seems to fall right into my lap!  In multiples is even better!  So you know how last week I was drooling over this kitchen and the lights... well I found both of these amazing pieces this weekend and this week!!  I am dying over the mirrored one and now I have to find a place for it (I am also selling it so if you want one for yourself stop by the shop).

Ummm.. what can I say here, I adore the small lanterns hung in this kitchen.  So simple and almost out of scale but in reality absolute perfection for this type of understated style.  The stools are not to shabby either.  These lantern style pendants reminded me of some that I am loving from Circa right now!  

This small version of the Morris Lantern is a cutie and I can see extending the chain to get this look.  Perfection.  However, if you know where a couple of little guys just like this can be found please send over the info as I would love to recommend them for a project I am working on!

 

Once we really get moving in the new year all I want is clean and bright- it is like I need to fast track to Spring to make everything new again!  I love this clean kitchen with that touch of dark grey in the pendants and the appliances.  Just about perfection.

So I am in the beginning design stages of my kitchen remodel.  Which I am super excited about but there are many very important decisions to make.  The sooner the better considering the lead time on some of these pieces!!  The first thing I had to figure out was my cabinet colors and the counters..  done there just need to get all of the pricing together (I will post those as soon as I make the final final decisions based on the cash).  But I have quickly moved onto lighting.  I love lighting!  So there is a small nook area that needs a chandelier and then we need to add pendants over the new island. 

My first choice on the chandelier is below..  this one if from Arteriors but I might have to adjust considering the price... (oops I always go based on looks for myself first then try to figure out pricing- it can be easier that way sometimes but in this case it is not really going to work).  Aside from that isn't she beautiful!  Another choice is the hand made piece above from Cleveland Art.  I have several pieces from them in my house (they made the amazing lights in my master bath) and I love them as each is a unique work of art.

 

Another contender but it might be over done.  I have seen these in all kinds of kitchens...

I love this piece from Arteriors- new and fabulous!

Another Arteriors piece very similar to the Cisco piece but a bit larger...

 Then there is the large bling that I decided half way through this post might work over the table in the nook too... 

 

Grey makes a great accent in the kitchen too.  This island is amazing!  My kitchen has a island set up similar to this or it will when I am finished with it, I love the X detailing and the pendants.

I am 100% in love with the new pieces from Ochre.  I have this thing about unique lighting, I love it, it is the thing that I think can really make a room.  Lighting is like the amazing pair of shoes you put with jeans and a sweater to make your outfit a little extra ordinary.

This does not seem completely practical for actual work but I like it.  The floor is amazing and the lights are very very cool!
