Thank you all so, SO much for your responses to my little survey. If you haven’t taken it yet, I’d really love your help. I want to make sure I’m capturing a good sample of my readers. The feedback so far has been amazingly helpful as I’m organizing what to say at Alt.
Also, the overwhelming response to the last question – which asked for constructive criticism about my blog and how it can be better – was that you readers want more photos of my home and my projects again. I hear you! And truthfully, I feel the same way. I know the reason many of you started reading LGN was because of the project sharing. Those projects led to successes in my design business, and I feel as a result of that, I’ve been less available to focus on sharing with you readers.
Part of my resolution list this year is to get back to basics and focus more energy on original content. So, I guess that’s my long-winded way of saying – thanks for hanging in there! Great posts are on the way! Promise.
ANYWAY! Let’s talk lighting. This was a fun sight for me last week as I rounded the corner to the lighting department in Home Depot.
I’m a sucker for round chandeliers. This one comes in two sizes 21″ and 14″. So pretty in an entry, a dressing room or a fancy powder bath! Not cheap at $300 and $400 each, but also not too crazy.
wow! beautiful!
love it … but i have to be honest i wish it was a bit cheaper … yikes! i'm sure it's worth it, but it's out of my range.
maybe it will come down? or go on sale? let's hope! :)
Wow…love it and I want to go to that Alt! Looks amazing….lots of bright lights there….

Jenny-I'm so glad to hear that you'll be focusing more on projects. That is how I found your blog and I love to see your DIY's or rooms you've designed.
Also, that chandelier is ah-mazing. I've got to go to the HD to check it out for myself. I'm with Michael-Innkeeper (above). I'm hoping it won't be a hit in my neck of the woods and that it will go on sale and I can snatch it up. I would love this in my master bedroom!

Yes, the lighting is nice. But my concern is if it's being sold at HD then everyone will have one.
I would prefer something that not everyone has already seen.
That's one great chandelier.
Ummm hello gorgeous!
There's a look-a-like at ZGallerie which is surprisingly VERY economic: $75!

wow amazing!! such a showstopper!
Yay for more pics of home and projects!
That light is surprisingly good for Home Depot!
Wow that is gorgeous. I am such a sucker for lighting.
Wow, can't believe that's at Home Depot! Ha, i was going to link to the Z Gallerie Belvedere Hanging Lamp but Sisters Sincere beat me to it! :)
Actually, the reason I love your blog is that you show us the great design in stores that are available to all of us! Joann's, Home Depot, etc. Of course, I live in an area where traditional reigns so it isn't too likely that anyone else will have that ;)
Gorgeous, I have a similar one hanging in my Master bath, but instead of regular circles, mine is made of swirly metal bent and then shaped into a circle. I love it, it makes such cool shadows on the ceiling and wall, and gulp, it was more than the Home Depot Chandelier, but I had to have it!!!
I just read your twitter post about the "too rich" comment. That is hilarious! People are so funny when asked for feedback on blogs.
Wow, that's one great chandelier. I would have never expected to see that at Home Depot.
Oh me oh my…lovin' it! I'll have to pop on over the HD to check it out…it would look hot in my bedroom! xx Danielle
Ooooh la la! Go Home Depot!
That would look great in my daughter's teen bedroom… BUT thanks to the previous post I am off to check out the zgallerie cheaper version!
I love round light fixtures right now, too! DH and I have been considering making DIY knockoffs of the Random Light fixtures from DWR for our two storey foyer. http://www.dwr.com/product/lighting/ceiling/pendants-chandeliers/random-light-small.do?sortby=ourPicks.
We love the Random fixture, but it may be a little too modern for our home. This HD one is a good choice, and I see in the comments someone else put a linky for a Z Gallerie option. I'm off to check that out in a minute!
I'm also loving the DWR Etch Pendant. I think it would be awesome in a bedroom.
You didn't waste anytime accomadating "my" request:) thanks for a great post.
I like it, but I wouldn't be able to get past all the jokes my dad would have about New Year's Eve every time he came over. :)
I'd love the larger one for my stairwell–I'll have to stick it on the to buy section of my to do list.
Wow! That's quite the step up for Home Depot and you're right, not too too crazy with the price.
UGH! I'll take 2! Fabulous. It is a more luxurious disco ball. It's so modern and fun! Great find!
I love that chandelier so much…wish I had somewhere to put it. I just found your site! Such fun.
That's a great chandelier. Wish I could rationalize putting it in our apt. Love it though. I found your site just this week and it's great!
The quality of the pieces are outstanding!!!Love the unique works and straightforward simple designs.So Brilliant!
After filling out your survey, I decided it's finally time to stop lurking! :) I've been a reader for about a year or so and I love your blog.
Anyway, GREAT light fixture–I've been looking for something for my entryway and this might be a contender. Thanks for posting this!
It reminds me of the ball they drop in Times Square on NYE. I wish my dining room was set up for a chandelier, but alas that is what I get for living in a pseudo-loft.
I love it – it's like having your own Times Square Ball of Lights! I want one!
on a whim (without discussion with hubby or even seeing it in person), i just ordered this light for our bedroom. i'll let you know if it works out…

thanks for the inspiration…always. you are good.
as promised…check out how the chandelier looks in my room. we love it! thank you!!!

ps – we first bought the big one, then realized how small our room is…and so we went for the smaller one.
Love that light – it looks huge! Worth the money I think.
