Which direction ????

Hello lovely peeps....it has been so long since my last post....I won't make excuses, but hope that some of you have stayed around.

 Yesterday the weather was not too bad in my part of the world considering we are in the beginning of winter....so what is one to do on a Saturday afternoon but offer to take youngest girl driving....she needs to get her hours up before being able to go for her licence.

Hmmm...where shall we head to???? I know ....how about  The Vintage Shed .... No, there was no ulterior motive and yes, a  few gorgeous little goodies were purchased... I'll share at a later date.

Which leads me to a dilemma I've been having while trying to put together  a look for our living/family room area.... I have mentioned previously on this blog the love I have for a bit of industrial, and the difficulty I have had in trying to choose light fittings. Who would have guessed that choosing light fittings would be so hard.

 I have put together some mood board pics of the style I have been leaning toward

Tolix stool  for the kitchen bench that adjoins this room......

Dulux Hog Bristle paint.... couch from Early Settler.....new carpet that is actually much nicer than the sample..... lamp and TV cabinet ...we already have!!!

So as for the light fitting ????...... I'm drawn to gorgeous industrial types like these

and these



but am worried that they will date quickly.... so I am thinking maybe a simple chandelier???

Or perhaps a black one...

I know you lovely peeps will have some wonderful ideas...please share any suggestions.

Thanks for visiting and hope to pop in and see you soon.

Enjoy your Sunday.

The Light Choice

 

 

We have been looking for some new overhead lights for the living room as the current ones are outdated. One even has a broken glass thanks to a guest at youngest daughters sixteenth birthday party last year.

So since purchasing the new lamps we thought it was about time to replace those lights......as usual, I can't find anything suitable!

The ceiling is of standard height  and a lot of traffic passes under the lights so we can't have anything too low.

What do you prefer........

Something natural....

 

 

or more formal............... 

 

 

  perhaps a touch of industrial style.....

I don't think any of these beauties would be suitable..but I'm open to any advice.

 

Enjoy your weekend
