OUR LIGHT FIXTURES

7/16/2019

I don't love hunting for light fixtures. I have no trouble selecting plumbing, flooring, paint, etc....but finding lighting can be so frustrating. Generally, the biggest issue is finding fixtures that give off a soft light, versus harsh. Many of the fixtures that are "trending" incorporate exposed bulbs, which Ty and I both find hard on the eyes. We were very specific about what we wanted - here were our parameters while shopping for lighting :

Mid century modern elements to flow with original features of home, while remaining timeless and flexible (ie, not too MCM niche)
Reasonable price points
No exposed bulbs
Brass, black, or white

ENTRY

This fixture is my favorite. I wanted something interesting, but was limited due to the height of the room. Most fixtures hung too low. This fixture is fun and unique, without being too loud.

DINING

I had my heart set on a simplistic piece for the dining room. I actually bought several other fixtures, only to return them. This one spoke to me right away. I fell for the brass interior, and loved its simplicity.

HALLWAYS & GUEST BATH

We have three of these semi-flush fixtures in our home (laundry, guest bath, hallway). This MCM globe invites personality and texture, compared to a typical flush mount or can. The best part? This fixture is $53!

MASTER BATH

Believe it or not, these pendants were original to the home! (We live in a 1964 Mid Century tri-level). I spray painted the cord brass. Here, or here, is a similar fixture.

SUNROOM / MASTER BEDROOM FAN

I am a fan of this fixture (see what I did there?). It can be difficult to find a not-ugly fan at a good pricepoint. This white fan is a great price for the visual!
