Island lighting is hard, we've had three different styles of pendants in the last few years...ha! I do like the wood fixture with the fewer lights for the island, it's very cool. And that rug...swoon. :-)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130408575218113991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-65049552171590121522017-04-06T06:06:55.140-04:002017-04-06T06:06:55.140-04:00Thank you for your input Laura!!!

We are going to try and find a fixture like the one I showed for going over the island...the trick is finding one that doesn't cost close to $500!! HA!

That grill pad for Aaron sounds wonderful. What a pretty lot you have. Lighting is SO HARD. I've been trying to decide on some new lighting for our kitchen and it seems impossible. I LOVE your lighting taste. It seems to go great in your house. I think I'd like to see what you go with and then just order the same haha. I like your idea of waiting on the big/super visible lighting until you find some you love. I feel like it would be annoying to look at lighting you don't love and then have to swap it out. Good luck!!PolkaDottyPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251286113250727239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-20920934924950188792017-04-05T13:31:36.277-04:002017-04-05T13:31:36.277-04:00Hi!

I feel like the credit is bleak if you don't use the lighting but when I see the lighting in my home at Home Depot and Lowe's it is the absolute builder grade cheapest but you end up paying three times as much for it. Unfortunately, for us, a new house meant many other projects and I thought I would gradually upgrade but in reality I have only done three rooms in 10 years, ha ha. So my vote is at least do your kitchen and dining room now and the bathrooms you could do later. I agree with you that the tray ceiling and trim especially with the light paint color lends to formality and you need something a bit more formal in the dining room. I love that lantern though. Could that be used in the foyer? Fun stuff! That backyard sounds incredible!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609267832614945960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-21103302167125696832017-04-05T10:45:32.210-04:002017-04-05T10:45:32.210-04:00Wow, love it all and I'm so excited for y'...Wow, love it all and I'm so excited for y'all. I agree with Heather's choices above in the comments about the lighting. Also, if they don't offer too much of a credit for not putting in lighting, I would just get the builder stuff and gradually replace it. It will take some pressure off for all the projects you might have when you move in.

There's SO MANY options out there...good luck, ha! We have those same window blinds throughout our house; it was the first "We've got to change..." item when we bought our house. I love them - super easy to clean, are holding up well and look great.

IMO it's not formal enough for your dining room and you're right, that's a very classic room especially with the ceiling detail. I wish we were friends IRL because I LOVE picking stuff out and help all of my friends with their choices! Such an exciting time for your family!

We were at Lowes the other day and they had a round metal chandelier that I absolutely fell in love with. If we had a dining room, it would be in our house! I can't wait to see what you choose =)<br />We have the white faux wood blinds throughout our house and I as well love them. The only room that doesn't have them is the girls room. I chose room darkening shades for their room so they sleep later in the morning ;) HA!<br /><br />Have a great day!!Johannah Siroishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459478835414881025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-21978641181522685942017-04-05T08:03:26.525-04:002017-04-05T08:03:26.525-04:00Oh my goodness, your house is so beautiful already...Oh my goodness, your house is so beautiful already!
