Light it up

I've recently felt as though my life needed a major uplift. I found myself gazing in my closet and hating everything in it. My kitchen makes me want to scream from it's drabness, and the light throughout the house is, to put it mildly, blah.

So with the help of my mother (love you!), my wardrobe got a big update and I found myself almost giddy last night from the thought of wearing my new creamy, grey, high-waisted sweater with dark wash trouser jeans (I look fab today). Also, the fact that my closet is this clean and roomy is a miracle. Look at the lower bin: it's empty! I have space to fill!

The kitchen is still in progress, so no images there, but what I'm most excited about is the email I just got. My new lighting for our bedroom has shipped and is on it's way to my loving embrace.

I'm so impatient for these pieces. Who knew lighting could be so exciting. Rejuvenation, that's who. I love this store. I want to live in it. It inhabits an old mechanics shop in Sodo and they kept all the old beams and this enormous crane hangs from the ceiling. And there are hundreds of lights. They feature one-of-a-kind antiques and reproductions that are gorgeous. The period basics are a great place to start, but I seriously fell in love with the Industrial section and plan on talking my husband into one of the gas-style fixtures for our dining room. Unless I fall in love with another fixture before then...

Love can be such a fickle thing.
