Obsessed

Usually what happens is I have an idea, and that idea has to be fulfilled at that exact moment. Otherwise I sit obsessing over it for way too long.

This happened last night. My mom took Micah and I was sitting looking at the dining room thinking I want a new light. Of course, thanks to Pinterest, I saw one that I thought I may like at Lowe's. So in that instant I told Jonathan we had to go to Lowe's and buy it. He must have been trying to suck up to me because he was game. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their Valentine's Day at Lowe's?!

We're looking in the lighting section and I was bummed when it wasn't there, and then my second choice wasn't as great looking in person as it was online. But I did find one I liked at first, and then I kept going back to it and obsessing over it and smiling over it. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it at. Weird, I know. 

Here it is in all it's glory:


My practical husband said to wait for a few days until our other project (finishing the floors) was done. Well we finished last night so can I go to Lowe's today and get it?!? Seriously this picture does it no justice. The light bulb is gorgeous and vintage-y and rustic and modern all at the same time. It's absolutely perfect. The picture looks a little small but in person it looks like it would hang over our kitchen table just fine.

What else I'm obsessed with is kitchen backslashes, specifically this one:


I love the look of the subway tiles and ooh, that rug! And the cabinets, and the stove. So after our other projects, backsplash it is!

Since it's a 3 day weekend I think it's a perfect time to hang the light of my dreams, don't you?
