Another decorating dilemma that was stressing-me-out-biggy-time was finding a light fixture for the baby's room. It turns out that buying 5000 white picture frames eats up your decorating budget so there wasn't much left for a fancy-dancy light fixture from Schoolhouse Electric, Restoration Hardware, or Barnlight Electric. (Eye candy over there, much?)
In my last post about possible light fixtures, I had found four fairly inexpensive, local lighting options that I was debating. You peeps helped me narrow it down to two of them:
 |
| Schoolhouse Light - Home Depot |
 |
| Fabric Pendant Light - Lowes |
Except as my luck would have it, the schoolhouse lights from Home Depot online were/are back-ordered and the fabric pendant light from Lowes online was only for Lowes.com and not Lowes.ca.
Waaaaaaaaaaaah. I just knew the world was against me.
Alex and I decided to take a trip to Lowe's a few nights ago to look at their outdoor furniture cushions and I decided to walk the lighting aisles one last time to see if there was anything, anything I could use for Ninja's room.
(P.S. Aren't I dramatic with all the italics?)
That's when I saw a mini-version of the fabric pendant light that was supposedly only available at Lowes in the States. I checked the box and it was the same brand and everything (Good Earth Lighting). We snatched it up and installed it yesterday.
Dude has a light! Now I'll be able to find his teeny tiny bum to change his teeny tiny diapers.
Here is a picture with the old light fixture:
I still have to get Alex to twist the shade around so that you can't see the seams but overall I think it fits in nicely with the room. In my dream of all dreams I would have had some kind of rustic / cottage-y metal light but for $59 and off-the-shelf I'm pretty happy with how this one looks instead.
Now, 'member that tiny diaper that I mentioned?
That is one seriously small bum! ;)
P.S. Leave a comment on this giveaway post if you'd like a chance to win your choice of stencil from Royal Design Studio.
Lucky you found the mini-version. Cute!

DeleteOh my gosh things are looking so great in there! Congratulations on your little boy... and thanks for giving the rest of us some great nursery decorating inspiration : ) Love the stenciled wall!
ReplyDeleteIt goes great with everything in the nursery, such a tiny diaper but don't forget they grow out of those fast!
ReplyDeleteLove how it's coming together! The light looks fantastic. Such a calmin palette.
ReplyDeleteI love that light and everything else looks so cute! The stencilled wall is beautiful. Congratulations on your little ninja :)

Oh my gosh, are those diapers just the cutest thing ever??? I love them too because they contain the poop really well. Gotta love Pampers. The light turned out great! We just installed our new kitchen light over the weekend, which I will be sharing this week too. I might have to go to Lowe's and pick up a similar light. Right now I just have two exposed bulbs on the ceiling. lol
ReplyDeletehi! came across your blog through pinterest - just wanted to let you know that i think your nursery is so super cute! and that light fixture is awesome! whenever i see a tiny diaper i can't help but say 'awww!' too bad they don't stay cute for long ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful nursery. Love the new light. Great choice! Perfect for your little bum! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable room and blog. The new light looks great, and I'm also excited about the light that you didn't chose - we are working on a bath remodel, and that type light is one of my choices so why not find it at a better price. My husband keep naying all my light choices - there is one other I'd really like, and that one which are up next for approval. I think he is to the point where he isn't going to receive a vote :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love the last shot, the one with the diaper and the toy doll. Thanks.
