Scott and I recently renovated our kitchen (that post will come later) but our lighting situation is seriously lacking. We have the all too common fluorescent bulb fixture that works well, but doesn’t light my fire. Plus, it only covers a portion of the kitchen, leaving our dining table in the dark.
I’m very torn on what fixtures to put in my kitchen. Give me a client and I can design their whole lighting plan in 20 minutes flat. But when it comes to my house, I’m clueless.

I found this light fixture at work one day and kind of fell in love with it. It’s cheesy, kitschy and kind of modern all in one. I’m thinking it might be a good selection for over the kitchen table. Or maybe I should go for something more classic/traditional, like this lovely from Restoration Hardware.
I know, I know, such silly things to worry about, but it’s such a conundrum! What do you think? Possibly some additional track lighting to fill the void of the soon to be replaced fluorescent fixture?







I like the second one better and the right track lighting would probably be just the ticket.
LOVE Restoration Hardware or any of their knock-offs!**
LOVE this blog.
HATE the news about Twix.
And, what exactly did Scott mean by the “grandmother” comment? (jk)
**and Crate and Barrel, of course.
Best jumping picture ever.
