With the new house one of the many decisions that we are still working through is lighting.  I decided not to add a bunch of recess lighting through the house primarily because I did that in my last renovation and found that we never really used the recessed lights (except in the kitchen).  In the new kitchen I did have them put in 6 recess lights however; for the rest of the rooms I am just working with the original lighting and adding floor and table lamps.

Our ceilings are a little over 8 ft so not super tall due to this the use of chandeliers isn’t the best option in all of the rooms since we are a tall family.   This brings us to flush mount fixtures as a great option except finding affordable and good looking flush mount can be a challenge.

Since I can’t go hunting ever shop for great flush mount lights being pregnant and all I started online.  The sites that I found how the best options and prices were Overstock.com, wayfair.com, lamps plus.com, amazon.com, allmodern.com, potterybarn.com, westelm.com.

Here are the lights that I am currently “trying out” in our house now. I haven’t unpacked the fancy camera so pretty pics will come later.  If you are looking for some additional options check out my lighting board on Pinterest here.

    Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
    from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would
    really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
    Thanks
