Light-up My Life

This one I love for the breakfast room.

We are making steady progress on the new house. I am at the point where I have lost all patience and I am ready to move-in! Can you say impatient? I am, and I will not hide it. Although I prefer to simply call it "overly excited" about the new digs.

Lighting is next on the agenda for me to select and I have discovered that I have a big problem. I like too many fixtures and do not have enough rooms to put them in. Oh, what is a girl to do? I have always had a "lighting problem." Fisherman had an assignment in Kindergarten to count all the lamps in the house. The children were to count all the lamps and come back to school and make a graph on the numbers in each house. Bless Fisherman's heart, he could barely count as high as the number of lamps we had. How many? 57 - yes, fifty-seven. He came home and said he had the most that any one had ever had at the school and his number was "off the chart!" What can I say? I don't like overhead lighting.

Here is a selection of some of my faves thus far. Let me know what you think.
