Hudson Valley Light 7315

Color trends are brighter and better than ever, I love that in both of these spaces they really stuck to a color pallet. Vibrant green bathrooms with black and white checkered floors, and the green and white checkered ceiling with the green island it's almost to good to be true. I think it would feel like living in fairy tale all the time, as fat as I am concerned any dream can come true in a space like this.

The pendants in this kitchen have become wildly popular, I have seen them in spaces modern, country, industrial and traditional. There are many versions of pendants similar to this Hudson Valley one here, here and here. It's one of the most versitle and trendy pendants I know of on the market right now.

Cool Contemporary Bluebird

Tech Pendant Bluebird

I recently came across this kitchen remodel, it is such a colorful, contemporary kitchen. I love the Tech Lighting track system they used. The pendant, in Amber, is one of our most popular pendants, but I really like the blue. One of my favorite things about this track is how versatile it is, it was a great solution for the slanted ceiling, the standoffs are hung at different heights so the track can hang even with the floor. They made a shape that works well with the space, so the light can be directed wherever it's needed. Another great thing about a system like this is you can add or subtract lights whenever you want.

Beautiful Antlers

Well I have to admit this is the first time I have seen an antler chandelier and really really liked it. I grew up spending a lot of time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where there are antlers all over the place. I never thought to incorporate antlers in a chic space, I thought they only existed in full on western atmospheres. Boy was I wrong, this clean, fresh space is beautiful.I love the navy and white with the antlers, it's the perfect combination of simplicity and spark!

*We have some great antler chandeliers in the store right now, come in and check them out.

Uttermost Lighting Akadia Lamp

Desire to Inspire featured this great bedroom and it made me think of the new Hinkley fixture we just got in the store for display. I am obsessing over the gold accents, this antique gold finish is incredible! What do you think about the mix-and-match table lamps on the dresser? I am not inclined to mix like that, the painted yellow lamp with the brass one. But it does make the room a little more interesting and eclectic. I think the overall effect is great, what do you think?

Rustic Chic Kitchen

LBL Marmo Pendant

I am loving the snap shot from this rustic chic kitchen, they have used one of LBL Lighting's pendants, The Marmo. It adds just the perfect amount of dazzle to the room, and it's a great light source for right over the kitchen sink. Love this!
