Chic Little House: Happy Lighting

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

This is my 1,150th post about lighting for our house, and I'm sure by now your sick of hearing about all my lighting details lol. I'm keeping this post short and sweet, Hasani, the kids and I headed over to the house to drop off two light fixtures when realized the electricians came a day early and installed all our lights! If you follow me on Instagram you already saw a few of our outdoor lights (you can also see the pics here or on my side header) Oh and the lighting I was dropping off for my bathroom, was smashed to pieces, so I'll be dealing with that today, thanks Overstock! Anyways I walked into Avery's bedroom and did a happy dance, he didn't even notice until the light, until I turned on the light on and then he joined me in a happy dance. He was starstruck and laughing and pointing at the light.

My little toddler loves loves his lighting for his bedroom! I'm so happy I went with my gut for his bedroom, the light just makes you happy. I purchased the lighting from Land of Nod, the lighting comes with a plug, but has the option to be hardwired and includes a canopy if you choose to hard wire it.

Next we just need to determine how long we light to hang from the ceiling. In the above picture its hard to tell, but the lighting is centered his bedroom. I can't wait to see this light in action at night. We opted to put all our bedroom lighting on dimmers again along with our living / dining lighting, so his light won't be crazy bright.

What do you think of Avery's happy lighting for his bedroom?

Love it, and you're right - go with what makes you happy! I would put it pretty darn close to the ceiling - you don't want to worry about heads banging on the light while you're playing.

Love it! It looks great! I am with Liz to hang it close to the ceiling. We had to do this in our boys room, we didn't want them to feel enticed to hang from their light...boys will be boys!

Avery's new light fixture is so pretty and looks great hanging in his room. I agree with Liz and Darnetha, I'd hang it close to the ceiling too.

I love the light. My son actually told me that he wants it for his room!

That's a fun light; perfect for a little boy's room. But not in a kiddie way. I'm so excited to see your house when you can move back in. I just know it will look fabulous!
