KITCHEN PENDANT LIGHTING FIVE SIMPLISTIC AND DRAMATIC LOOKS.
I'm so excited to share these FIVE Kitchen Pendant ideas rooms with you. These lights can be the Diamond Rings of your space to choose pieces you fall in love with. Remember, you can "Shop The Look" through Wayfair by choosing a photo. Here are a few tips for choosing Kitchen Pendant Lighting for your space.
- Add a dimmer switch to your lights to create the perfect mood.
- Kitchen pendant lights should be hung 12-20inches below and 8 foot ceiling. For each additional foot of ceiling height, add three inches.
- Kitchen pendant lights should be hung at least 30 inches above the island.
- Before the lights are installed, make sure you adjust the height to your liking, the look you love is up to you.
- Space the lights evenly over the island or eating area.
- If you choose large bold, pendants two would work in most spaces.
- If you choose smaller pendants, three pendants would work in most spaces.
- When it comes to the light finish, keep the lights, cabinet knobs and sink faucet the same.

Gobble Gobble this Thanksgiving Deco Mesh Wreath Up!
Here I am again, totally addicted to making and displaying these holiday themed deco mesh wreaths! As soon as Halloween was finished I put up the new Fall/Thanksgiving wreath and I just smile when I look at it. Read below and I'll show you how it was made.
- 18 inch round wire wreath frame from Joann ($1.50)
- 21 inch striped deco mesh roll from Joann ($6.50)
- Center "Gobble Gobble" turkey wood embellishment from Dollar Tree ($1.00)
- One maple leaf pack from Dollar Tree ($1.00)
- 5 rolls of ribbon from Dollar Tree (I have tons left over) ($5.00)
- Pipe cleaners cut in half from Dollar Tree ($1.00)
Total Cost for project - $16.00
The dollar tree didn't have any embellishments I could add around the wreath so I just doubled up on the amount of ribbon I used and added the maple leafs. I am completely happy with how it turned out. If you aren't sure how to make one, just check out a few You Tube Videos and search, "Deco Mesh Wreath". One roll will have left over mesh so for every two rolls you buy, you should be able to make three wreaths.
I love the striped mesh because it has the different metallic stripes that sparkle and are really eye catching!
Make sure to use WIRED ribbon when making your wreath

Antique Farm House Favorite Finds
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE FINDS THIS WEEK FROM ANTIQUEFARMHOUSE.COM
I love shopping on line to find unique decor at great prices and add pieces in my home that spark conversation while not breaking the break. I ordered two items this week,the Vintage Gym Clock and the Cast Iron Hammer Bottle Opener!
1. VINTAGE GYM CLOCK
I love this piece because it reminds me of high school. I ordered this and can't wait to get it. Now only if I already knew where I could put it. I don't want to pass this up because I have a feeling it will be sold out very shortly.
2. LARGE METAL TRAY WITH HANDLES
Seriously, this tray has so many uses and it will last a lifetime.
I like this sign because it adds some humor in the laundry room. How can you be upset about doing laundry when you get to see this every time?
4. OLD SCHOOL SAND FILLED HOUR GLASS
This is definitely a conversation piece and hey, it is just fun to watch the sand pour into the glass container below!
I actually have a authentic one hanging by my side door and inside I put the mail that needs to go out and I hang keys and a basket with all of my tape measure's inside. This way I always know where to find a tape measure when needed which is quite often.
6. HAND FORGED IRON GLASS DRYING RACK
This piece could actually make hand washing fun again.
7. METAL STAND PICTURE FRAME
I love the idea of adding old black and white family photos in these cute black metal frames.
8. RUSTIC METAL WELCOME SIGN
What a great way to greet your guests as they enter your home!
9. TABLE TOP SWIVEL CHALKBOARD SIGN
This has so many possibilities. Enough said
Got these this week and the price is for TWO which is unreal.
Antique Window, Vintage China Hutch and Reclaimed Barn Wood FoyerProject
I then got this window off of the local neighborhood Facebook buy, sell, trade site. Now to decide what to do with these to pieces to make the foyer what I wanted it to be. I loved the window just the way it was and only cleaned it off and wiped down the glass. I took the top hutch part off so it could become a buffet and look at the next photo to see what happened.
When I took the top off. this large open area was now showing, so what is a girl to do? I have always been a girl to use chalk finish paint and roll it on but with this many nooks and crannies and the fact that I am a little impatient, I decided to use a satin spray paint. This is the ONLY spray paint I use. It sprays so soft and smooth and even. This came in a satin finish but I knew once I was finished distressing and sanding it would look just as good as pieces I have painted with chalk finish paint.
All done painting, just got a little on the grass. LOL. This only took two cans of paint, mainly because the buffet was already a light gray.
Woah! The finished product already! I'll guide you through each piece and where they came from and why I placed them where I did.
1. I first centered the painted buffet where I wanted it. When doing a wall arrangement, always place your furniture first and then work your wall pieces around it. You can see I placed the arrangement a little larger than the buffet itself.
2. I then took scraps of reclaimed barn wood and made a design to cover the open holes made by the missing hutch top. The reclaimed wood was $1 each and I also used it in the restroom sign above a door in our house, these are the missing pieces so all that wood cost me about $3.
3. I bought the large candle holder at Goodwill, it is from Party Lite and only cost $6. I sprayed it with the same white paint and then distressed it with sandpaper.
4. I used another smaller piece of the reclaimed wood and placed the three small mason jar candles on it with battery operated votives.
5. The greenery ball and the burlap jar did not come together. I purchased them from Goodwill on separate occasions. Notice how I grouped everything in the middle and there are varying heights. It took me a few times of arranging things to get this composition but I totally love it.
4. The welcome sign to the right is from one of my favorite new stores. You can find the welcome sign and so many vintage replicas and found items at www.bits of vintage.com (click HERE to be taken directly to the store) or click the Bits of Vintage Photo on the left of the website).
5. I just added picture hangers to the back of the window and it is such a statement piece!
6. The beautiful sign is from www.smallwoodhome.com. and you can get it HERE She has a large variety of wooden signs for very reasonable prices and shipping is so reasonable. I loved the meaning of this piece and people can read it as soon as the enter my home.
7. The last piece is an old tin wall hanging from Southern Living at Home. It originally came brown but I painted it with the same white paint and added antique wax and distressed it with sandpaper until I was happy with the look.
I have the darker black pieces on the outside and then the handles of the buffet are black. Everything else is white or off white. I arranged the pieces on the floor until I found a composition arrangement that I thought looked great!
This is the 6.00 Party Lite candle holder from Goodwill. The flameless candle on the inside is from QVC. I have these flameless candle all over the house and what I love about them is that thy flicker like a real flame and they are on timers.
Notice the reclaimed wood that the mason jar candle votives are sitting on has a darker tone, this is the leftover scrap wood from the restroom sign. You can read about that creation HERE.
