I Make No Apologies

But for those of you that are suffering from Arachnophobia

I am sorry.

However, read on 

 I have linked a site to help you at the bottom of this post.

I think this is a great room with a cool lighting fixture.

Perfect for someone who might move the table out of the way 

and paint, or draft.

Or.....

Put on a show for the family.

I do hope it is on a dimmer though.

Does it creep you out ?

get over you fear of SPIDERS here

Recent Project: Cottage Style Home

We are THIS CLOSE to being finished with this beautiful new home.  There are just a few more details to be finished, such as mirrors and miscellaneous cabinet hardware.  I did this project through Arendal Kitchen Design, with Interior Designer Scott Andersen.  Scott does amazing work - I admire his attention to detail in every part of every project.  And I especially admire his taste in light fixtures.  Every light fixture in this house is a "wow" piece that is a work of art in itself and truly MAKES the house.  Of course, the cabinetry is pretty fabulous too (patting myself on my back).  The kitchen is my favorite - the white inset cabinets with custom glass transoms and custom hood are simple yet beautiful.  And they pair so well with the classic marble and limestone tops and subway tile backsplash.

The Difference a Bulb Makes

A few weeks ago I posted about the "new" light fixture we inherited.  I used the photos of the standard white light bulb, which was there because it was the only extra bulb we had.  Well, we finally changed the bulb to something more fitting - a simple clear globe.  Obviously the fixture looks better, but what really surprised me was the sudden dramatic lighting effect created with the clear vs. white frosted glass.  Our Kitchen has become a disco.  Not really, but the lighting effect is pretty amazing.  So for everyone who suggested the clear globe bulbs, here's a pic for you.  Please ignore the frayed black cord (which will someday be replaced) and the horrific mini-blinds (which should probably be higher on our priority list than they are).

Our "new" kitchen light

Sometimes hand-me-downs are a blessing, even if they're a little worn...

Now I'm not so sure about the bulb... we've got a standard bulb in there now, but do you think I should switch it up for a different shape?  Thoughts?
