Kitchen Lighting

Okay, as with everything for our home there is a story. First you have to visualize this image. I am going to the house to just let Amanda go be with Daddy. I had a long day and she was still full of energy and she wanted to play and I wanted to lay down and just die (okay sleep). I walk in to see Mark (previously noted as our dear friend and Tara designer) drilling holes into the beams above the peninsula; on the floor I see, new lighting. Yes, my hubby loving man that he is, took his life into his hands and made a huge leap of faith that I would like whatever Mark picked out. He actually bought the kitchen lighting without so much as discussing it with me. Then he took it further to begin to install them without consulting me. Tell me this man isn't the bravest soul on planet earth since King David with the Giant! Well the good news is that I LOVED them. So he lived to see another day! Mark has been on target with everything so far so it was the safest bet he could have made but tis man does like to live on the edge of survival. That said, let's have a look at their purchases shall we?

This one here to the left is for over the peninsula. It coloring is consistent with the coloring of the Chandelier in the entry way and the globe (if you can call it that) is consistent with the ones under the bridge. It has a nice glow. I do love them. There will be two over the peninsula. I just want to say that once these were installed for a few days (they didn't stay up long as they could get in the way) Jeff came to the house to "help" Kenny. Walked right into one of them and bent it, only Jeff, poor Jeff. Well Kenny got it put back into shape and all's well that ends well!

Second purchase is this incredible light here on the left. Again it is unique and consistent with the other pieces. Realize that I say consistent but not Matchy Match. We like things to go together but not be identical.

The feel to this house is very earthy and that is the main theme every purchase needs to be in tune with that. I think that we all have worked really hard at getting everything to work within that premise. I know you will all love it once you get a chance to see it all together.

What amazes me is that all the individual things we have picked up over time have all come together so wonderfully. Then again we have the best of the best as a builder!
