Over my sink I have the exact one you show with the brass and black shade and I was going to use the pendants in white over our island, but they were too large. I do love those though. We went with something smaller, but similar from Schoolhouse. I love their show room in the city, I can only imagine the one in Portland.annie diamondhttp://mostlovelythings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-17509844924898988392013-10-18T02:34:47.142-04:002013-10-18T02:34:47.142-04:00I love that you are so considerate of your home...I love that you are so considerate of your home's history as you make design decisions. Your choices are always inspired and unpredictable to me. I never know which way you will go, but at the same time when I see it I nod my head and think "yep, that's Steve". :)<br /><br />Love the black and brass....wow. But wonder if they'd feel heavy?

But ...Crickey, Steve, even your rubble is exciting! But decisions, decisions. By now my brain would have turned to mush. I can start out on projects with very clear intentions and all goes well for ages but there inevitably comes the stage of small, late choices where I become a dithering mess. Am at the dithering mess stage now because I can't decide between your black or your white lighting - good job it's you in charge!

White enamel? Love. White porcelain? Love. The black and brass feels very masculine, a tad dressy, sort of Darryl Carter. Which of course is fabulous. But you are right that the white feels homey. A bit dressed down. A place where pancakes are made. And there is something so right about the combination of white and wood.

First day back from vacation!<br />At first glance I thought the bakery was a photo of the shop from "Practical Magic".<br />I'm SURE you must have seen that movie. If not, stop everything and watch it.<br />Best kitchen, best house ever.<br />Of course I adore the WHITE but I also like the Black and Brass.<br />I don't care so much for the 3rd pick.<br />I got my vintage hanging light from the ReStore. (Habitat for Humanity).<br />I sat in my living room and stared into the kitchen and realized that while I love white, I needed something dark to balance the room. I was lucky and found the perfect light (for $15!).<br />Whatever you decide, I know it will be perfect, it always is!<br />(I have a white porcelain fixture in the basement with a scary wiring coming out of it. My house was built in 1918 too, I wonder now if it's original...that's even scarier!)<br />Cindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-54645426957424565922013-10-14T21:21:25.245-04:002013-10-14T21:21:25.245-04:00love the black and brass combo steve. please pick...love the black and brass combo steve. please pick that set up. the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.com
