Lookie What I Found
So I thought I had made up my mind to get the warehouse pendants for over the island in the kitchen. But for some reason, I kept putting off ordering them and when I went out shopping yesterday and saw these vintage lights, I knew they were it!
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’ve had images like these for quite some time:
But I couldn’t be bothered to seek them out. So when they just appeared like that, I jumped on them!
It’s hard to tell from my photo but mine are glass like these:
with just the right amount of patina. And they’re really hefty and weigh a TON! It’s the perfect industrial touch I’ve been wanting to add to the kitchen.
I’m getting the hubs to hang them this weekend so I should have some photos for you next week.
And while I was shopping, I saw this sweet little light and couldn’t pass it up:
I think it’ll go in the hallway or maybe the laundry room . . . So that’s one set of lights down. (Hey, only about ten more to go!)
Elsewhere, I had the pleasure of guest blogging at Apartment 34 yesterday wherein I answered the question, “What is your bliss?” My answer will come as no surprise to anyone!

great find! I've been meaning to get out and search for lights in person. Something vintage has so much more appeal to me than something new.

Those are perfect! Definitely worth the wait. They were meant to come home with you! So, where'd you find them???
I'm on the search for a light for our bedroom. Maybe I'll get lucky on Saturday. :0)

Oh Ally,
I’m envious ! They are wonderful and perfect for your kitchen. It’s funny when you don’t order something for some reason and then these pop up. It was obviously meant to be. I’m looking forward to seeing them in place. XXXX

Ally – you SCORED!!!! They are the ones! Ahhww, they are going to be perfect with a capital P! They have Ally written all over them – and I love them!!! (Can I add any more exclamation marks ??) !!!
Amazing! I love them!
Thanks, guys, I'm glad you like them.
hello gorgeous: I usually don't either but in Atlanta, you can't help it. There is such great stuff here!
Naomi: Me, too! I think that's what kept me from ordering the other ones. I was really craving something vintage.
nkp: Antiques and Beyond. What a fab place!
laura: OMG, that is so funny because my hubby HATES doing this kind of stuff! But he's really good at it and he rues the day he ever let that get out!
OooooOOooo. Gorgeouas little light creatures. Just lovely. perfection!
.-= linda@LimeintheCoconut´s last post ..Another chair project… =-.
Ooh! Fabulous find!
.-= Moosette´s last post ..Can't We All Have Glamorous Dream Jobs?? =-.
I HEART antiques and beyond, so much. I love them even more for being open 7 days a week and letting me take stuff home on approval. I love them almost as much as I LOVE Atlanta Cupcake Factory (did you go yet?).
In addition to antiques and beyond and highland avenue antiques, i also love kudzo. so true. in atlanta, it is almost a declaration of defeat to pay retail. nope, save your money for what's worth it, $3 cupcakes at ACF
