As of this weekend, we have now ordered all of our big lighting fixtures. For the most part, we are using can lighting. Not a big surprise to anyone who has been in a home built in the last ten years. However, we are having pretty big fixtures in the front hall, dining room and over the island. For the front hall, we bought a caza sputnik light. Kind of funky and definitely a departure from the builders grade non-descript fixture that previously lived in the foyer. For the dining room, we have a vintage sputnik. And over the kitchen island, we are installing HUGE lights from Restoration Hardware. After two months of looking at light fixtures, I have tried my best to find budget friendly options. My final decision--lighting is not the best place to save money.
We have also ordered the new kitchen sink, bathroom sink and dog door. Of these three, I am most excited about the dog door. The Girls will now be the proud owners of a fully electronic dog door. If doors were like cars, they would be getting the mid range luxury. Perhaps the BMW 3 series of dog doors. Not the $1K+ model--that would be the huge Mercedes. But we're still excited about their upcoming freedom, even if it is tantalizingly out of reach for the next few months.
