Instead of returning it, I would have bought the polyhedron Homesense light from you! Live in the U.S. and wish Homesense had an online store we could order from!

i actually like your old header better, but maybe with a different font and x out the web address? you picked out some gorgeous lights!! i might have steal one of them for my kitchen, since we have 8' ceilings. the morovian star is so fun. good luck with the frame issues.

I love the light from Lowes. The linen shade will put out a nice soft light. I would probably put in a dimmer switch too so you can turn the light really low when you are doing late night diaper changes, or story time, etc..

Like the new header! Also, I think a FB page is helpful. There will be people that will 'like' you on FB but not subscribe to your blog. So when I write a new blog post, I put "New on my blog...." and post the link on my FB page. Then if I have FB followers, they can click the link and read my new post. If they don't subscribe via email or feedburner, then they wouldn't know about your new post.

That's just my 2 cents. Hope it makes sense!!

Sweet Sarah, I love the new header - good job playing with Photoshop! The schoolhouse light will probably make you the happiest. I didn't bother adding the new linky tools thing when the google one was discontinued - I just left it at an rss feed, Facebook, twitter and pinterest. No worries about baby stuff, it's so fun to get the room ready. Anyone can run to the store fit diapers and sleepers, should there be a need (like if you're
early!). Picture frames are tough...ikea has the best for the best prices, so if you can't order online or find the ones in your town that you want...let me know if I can help find anything anytime...I live 20 minutes from ikea and 5 minutes from 2 homesenses, 2 bouclairs, jysk, 2 pier ones, a surefit outlet, Home outfitters, sears, the bay, home depot, Lowes, Rona, millwork, home hardware, 2 Solutions (organizing store) and probably a few places I'm forgetting. :) And I think you better go get some English muffins!
xo,

Hi Sarah!

Go with lighting choice A! I think it will look the best in your room, and will suit a little boy / big boys room later on.

I just checked on Chapters/Indigo web site, and you can order your frames (I think) on line, and right now they have a sale if you order multiples! http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/search/?keywords=white%20frames&pageSize=12

Definitely like the new header!
I like the first light- the one that's $50ish from home depot- but I should warn you it's back ordered online. Estimated shipping is march 28th so it could be worse- I just ordered 2 for my sons rooms in my new house that we're moving into next weekend- woohoo!
I have been stalking your blog since I found it a week ago- its my favorite- you have very nice taste.
My name is also Sarah and I live in Ontario too. Have you been to aberfoyle antique market? I think you'd like it. Not sure how far away Ikea is for you but their white gallery frames are super nice.
Hope you're feeling well!

I vote for light A; it's good to coordinate things around the house when you can and it's charming. Good luck on the frame fiasco, I would have given up and made frames by now... Congrats on the Ninja!

2012-03-16T13:10:07.255-04:00

I like the round light at the bottom of your list! How big would it be in the small room though? I think the star pendant one is cool too, but don't let anybody tall walk into it - looks like it could hurt...
As far as the frames - were there any at Michaels you could spray paint? You seem to want matching frames, but have you considered getting coordinating white frames - each with subtle differences? Or maybe 2/3 bigger frames and you could put more than 1 of the cards in each? Idk. Good luck!

2012-03-16T11:42:53.084-04:00

Oh, that is going to be the sweetest little boy's room! I vote for light A too. I'm such a fan of those lights! In fact, you got me thinking that I should put this bigger one up in my kitchen rehab. Sorry I can't answer any of your techie questions!

Love the school house light ... it carries the theme better .... second choice is the last drum light.

The tiny little numbered t-shirt was an excellent buy ... it's nice to have simple choices to make sometimes ... and who can resist baby clothes.

2012-03-16T11:27:18.045-04:00

love the schoolhouse one.

re pic frames--just be careful having them so close to the crib, unless you'll be switching them up when the wee one is more mobile. maybe clips would be better?

we used the same cards to spell out our son's name--we just put sticky tack on the back, so the walls/cards wouldn't be damaged.

and we used an ikea light for the nusery--soooo cute--the fillsta--we just did not have it hang like a pendant light.

i wish i could post pictures over the net--let me know if you'd like some emailed.

2012-03-16T10:23:43.778-04:00

Hi Sarah,

I'm sure you thought of this already, but I'm putting it out there anyway - any reason why you can't order your gallery frames from Chapters online?

What are the dimensions of your flashcards? Could you do something with bulldog clips or something else more industrial looking like this http://pinterest.com/pin/187884615673855917/? (I know I've seen better examples but can't find them right now)

I like the light that is the same as on Just A Girl best from your bigs.

Just some ideas!

I like the school house lamp, then the drum shade, and then the geometric one. I would love the geometric one in a hallway to get the shadows of the metal.
