That silly lampshade stayed for a year and a half until this weekend when we installed a real fixture! Finally! Since there are going to be a few statement pieces in the room we were on the lookout for a fixture that was chic, but would also allow the other elements of the room to shine. And the one we included in the mood board was just that and real affordable. So we pulled the proverbial trigger pretty quick on this one.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

and now i’m embarrassed at the amount of spelling errors/ word mix-ups here. That must be what you get used to when you use auto-correct and never re-read anything! hah. Sorry Jules!
We’re putting a coffered ceiling in our living room right night and put 8 new recessed lights in. Yesterday I went shopping for bulbs and I about died! $10 each! They told me when you that the halogen light bulbs usually last over a year. Let’s hope! Love the fixture, the your blog, and love you! Hope you’re having a great Christmas friend!
Love love love this light fixture. It has the same purpose as a boob light for the all over lighting, but so so so much more attractive.
No problem! I have no idea why they would design such a great fixture that requires those bulbs.
Hunh. I actually pinned that light off your other post because we too have a small room with a “temporary” lamp shade up that we want to replace. I think we’re going to pass though because of the bulbs. Thanks for the heads up.
