Instant Pendant Light Review

Wednesday, February 24, 2016


If you live in a new build home like me, you may have come across the same situation as I have throughout my kitchen........Can Light Syndrome.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my kitchen and everything about it, well except there are tons of recessed cans throughout the entire kitchen ceiling. I love turning them on at night for light that isn't so harsh, but the can light above my kitchen sink just wasn't cutting it for me.

I'm a "quick fix" kind of person, and the thought of hiring an electrician to install a single pendant light and waiting for days for him to arrive, just didn't sit well with me. 
I knew there had to be an easier way.

In comes the "instant pendant light"! I did some online research, and really couldn't believe how easy these pendant lights were to install. Seriously......like I didn't even have to watch a You Tube video on how to do it!

Not only was it as easy as screwing in a light bulb (literally), but the cost of the pendant light was under $65.00! I chose an industrial cage model, ordered it right away, and it arrived on my front porch in less than three days......talk about heaven for an impatient person like me!







Bohemian Decor

Tuesday, February 23, 2016


Bohemian Decor: a type of interior decorating in which vintage items are reused, giving them new life next to new pieces. It's also about mixing decorating styles full of intricate patterns, textures and rich colors set against a more neutral color palette.

For the Love of Sweden

Wednesday, February 17, 2016


Busy days, busy nights have had the best of me.....there's never enough time is there?! While I'm crossing my fingers for warmer Michigan temps, I'm swooning over interior Swedish kitchen designs.....clean lines and pure perfection if you ask me!!

I hope everyone is having a fantabulistic week.....:)


Touches of Turquoise

Sunday, February 14, 2016


Maybe because I'm a December baby, I've always loved turquoise. My birthstone is actually called "tanzanite", which through the years I have discovered can look like anything from light blue to teal.
Cmon "birthstone color deciders", lol....make up your mind!

An entire room, an object, or small splashes of color, turquoise is always welcome.

Brick Walls Exposed

Friday, February 12, 2016


How amazing is the chandelier above the dining area? ...love!

One of the things I love most about New York is that "exposed brick" is considered a luxury item in most apartments or lofts. If you are lucky enough to have one, you and I would be on the same interior design page.

If you are lucky enough to have an exposed brick wall, and  live in a New York City loft? 
I'm moving in, STAT.

How To Re-Purpose Pallets

Friday, January 29, 2016


How many times have you driven through a parking lot and saw a pile of pallets near a dumpster to be thrown away? Did you really ever give them a second thought?

 I've never really thought of all the useful ways these wood pieces could be recycled and used as home decor elements.

~Seeing Green~

Thursday, January 21, 2016


Happy "almost" weekend!

After posting this photo on Instagram today, I realized that besides clearly being addicted to the color green, I am pretty much a creature of habit.........are you?

You know the type......you find yourself doing the same things over and over again, but do you stop and think why? I took a little bit of time today to ponder this notion and came to the conclusion that I repeat things over and over again because:  A) I like it..... B) it's easy.... C) it just works.

Basket Talk with World Market

Monday, January 18, 2016



If your new year "to do" list includes being more organized and adding additional storage options to your home, this blog post is for you!

Baskets are definitely "my jam" and I use them in practically every room in my home. Why not use a large basket as a clothes hamper in your kids room? Display one on your fireplace hearth to keep blankets off the floor? or smaller options in your bathroom or on top of your kitchen sink as "catch alls"?

Painted Fox: Cast Iron Bird Set

Thursday, December 10, 2015


How are you doing with your holiday decorating? I pretty much wrapped up all of my decor right before I shared my Blogger Holiday Home Tour last week. But of course, I'm always switching things up and adding a few "extra" pieces!

I have dedicated holiday pieces specific for Christmas, but I always leave a few non themed items in each room that can pull double duty and be left out all year.
