The dining room had a chandelier over the table. However, since we positioned our table closer to the wall the chandelier was kind of hovering over nothing. I decided to put a more unique light up so it was more like an any-where light instead of a light-that-is-supposed-to-be-over-a-dining-room-table light. Does that make sense? Well, it does to me.;)
World Market sells 3-'prong' pendant light kits. I got the shades from West Elm ($9.99/shade, which I thought was a good deal).
In my entryway, there was a can light. You can buy conversion kits at Home Depot that will make your can light work with a pendant. I bought a single pendant lighting kit at World Market with this light in mind, which I bought at a yard sale for $5:
It came with a cord, as you can see, but it was one you plugged in. I unscrewed that light and painted the shade red. I installed it myself, thank you very much. Not electrocuted. Go me!
And as the title says, I jumped on the black door bandwagon. Which can be a little scary. Painting your door black? What? But I am very happy with it. And for those with a keen eye, that is a tortoise shell on the wall. Have you been to Target? Nate Berkus? Forget about it. Love all of his stuff.
As you can see I have decorated for Christmas. I will post about all those decorations later.
