I was up late last night pinning inspirations for a couple new kitchen designs. I have to share a few of these beautiful spaces. One thing they all have in common is fabulous pendant lighting. These kitchens all have a light and airy feel. I love that these are bright,cheery spaces that can’t help but make you smile. For more of my favorite inspiration finds you can visit here.

Whether it’s a kitchen nook or a beautiful dining room, lighting makes all the difference. I often like to keep my designs clean and minimal, but I love to make a statement with the lights. A beautiful light is a show piece in a room. It’s like a piece of art. If you are trying to decide where to spend your money, consider saving some for a great chandelier or pendant.
In this kitchen nook makeover, I knew the light would make all the difference. I love how this wood-carved pendant defines the space of this open floor plan. One of my favorite things to do is look for beautiful dining room lighting, so I had fun while pulling some of my favorites for you to consider. I hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful day.

Lately I’ve been on the hunt for amazing sconces for some projects. I’ve come across some great inspiration I want to share with you. I really believe lighting is key in simple, elegant designs. Sconces, although smaller, are just as important as larger statement lights to complete the look of a space. They really add character and polish. Today, I’m going to address a couple of questions I get asked about hanging and selecting sconces and show you some great options for your home.
Q: Are there any rules for hanging bathroom sconces?
A: Remember the Q+A about hanging art? Well, hanging bathroom sconces have a similar rule. It’s good to hang the base of your scones just above eye level. That is about 66 inches off the ground. You don’t have to center them with the mirror, but it is good to have them at least 30 inches apart. Hanging sconces at this height will give optimal light to your face for applying make up, shaving etc. The picture above in my San Clemente Beach House project is a great example.
Tip: Have a little fun when selecting bathroom lights. They should work with the aesthetic of the room but can add character as well. You can choose a unique shape like white and glass globe lights or the vintage looking library sconces seen above (also in the kitchen pictures below).
Q: How can I get more light in my kitchen, without having a bunch of recessed cans?
A: I love these images of sconce lighting in a kitchen design. It’s a great way to add an unexpected element to the space. When planning your kitchen remodel, consider additional lighting above the kitchen sink or a kitchen window with sconces. Imagine the welcoming light a few sconces give, left on for late arrivals.
Generally I look for bedside table lamps as evening reading lights, but when Nicole Davis and I did this young girls room we had a little fun. This floral wall sconce was the perfect way to add a feminine touch to the room with the practical use of a reading light. I also love the bunk inspiration pictures below. The individual sconces are placed perfectly for young readers.
I hope these inspirations ( see all sources here under bathrooms, kitchens and lighting) and tips have helped you with how to choose and hang sconces. I’ve shopped for some great options for you to choose from. I hope you find some that work great for your home. Have a great day!

One of the best and quickest ways to update your kitchen is with new lighting. When I design a kitchen, I often like to keep the whole space light and neutral and add a wow factor with great lights. Pendant lights are the perfect way to make a beautiful statement. They can transform an ordinary space by adding a unique, showcase element. I’ve gathered together some of my pendant light picks for you to shop today. I hope you find something you love for your home.
