Candidates for Kitchen Pendants
I want to replace the two pendant lights over the kitchen island as part of my lighting overhaul and I think I’ve narrowed down the choices to two styles.
First is something classic but industrial like these:
The second option (and on the complete other side of the spectrum of course), something frilly and fancy like these:

Things Are Cooking in the New Kitchen (and I’m Not Talking About Food)
Happy 2010, everyone! I hope you had a fun night ringing in the new year. We had a nice dinner out and then it was pretty much early to bed for us old folks!
Earlier in the day though there was a lot of activity in our new kitchen. (Again, sorry for the crappy pics.) It’s [...]
More Gray Paint and a House Update
I’m going to meet with my painter tomorrow to talk about paint colors. I’m going to do it – I’m going to paint the kitchen cabinets gray! I’ve been staring at paint swatches all weekend and still haven’t come to a decision. If anyone has a gray paint they like, please share.

Kitchen Window Project
We have this window in the kitchen above the sink which is nice and all but the view is kind of hideous. So I usually just keep the blinds closed but that means the kitchen doesn’t get any natural light. I had been planning on having the glass replaced with frosted glass at some point [...]
Sometimes, I Can Actually Be Decisive.
I managed to get to Crate & Barrel this weekend for dinnerware. The set I wanted turned out to be on sale. Bonus! I had planned on getting only one bowl but both sizes looked useful so I got both.
Wherefore Art Thou, Orla?

This is what I was hoping to do yesterday – stand around happily surrounded by my bounty of Orla Kiely stuff from Target. But it seems the debut date is February 15, not February 1, at least in some stores. The wait is KILLING me.
New Dinnerware
I decided it’s time to replace our everyday dinnerware. I’m tired of the white bistro set we’ve had for a while now. A part of me just wants a clean, simple rimmed set like this one from Crate & Barrel:
But as usual, another part of me wants something entirely different – more organic like:
