Waterford House - All Moved In

Thank you Lisa for making me realize I have never posted pics of my Waterford house all moved in.  I have a ton more decorating to do, but surprise, surprise, we are moving again.

Here are some pics just for the record.  I can't believe I am moving in just a week and a half...ahhhhh.  I'm gonna miss this house!

Can't find a good pic of the outside!

Bedroom Pendant Lights

When building my Waterford house, I learned quite a bit about light fixtures.  I had to buy one for each and every room of the house.  I spent hours upon hours searching for just the right fixture for each room.  My favourite of all were the 3 mercury glass pendants in my Kitchen.  I ordered then from West Elm.

Actually wait, it's a tie between the mercury glass fixtures and the Thomasville Sphere fixtures in my dining room and entrance...

Waterford Dining room.  Sorry, no such a great pic...

Anyway, I have a new appreciation for lighting.  Especially hanging lights.  I LOVE shopping for light fixtures and believe that a new light fixture can truly transform a space.

A new trend (actually it's an old trend, just updated) is having pendant lights as your bedside lighting - rather than a lamp.  This is a great space-saving idea, and can make for a dramatic statement in a bedroom.

And here are some of my favourite pendants.  All from Candelabra Lighting & Home Decor.  LOVE this website.  I don't even think they ship to Canada, but I don't care.  It's a great inspiration resource.

Kelly Greeeeeeen

This morning, I was browsing through my favourite website, houzz.com, and came across this picture.  I thought to myself 'Ahhh, that GREEEN again'.

My love for Kelly Green all started with this one tear sheet I have of a kelly green chair from Ikea (and no, not because in my previous life I was Katie Kelly).  The tear sheet is from like 4 years ago.  I'm still mad at myself I never went and bought the chair.  The colour is just so striking and looks amazing with all shades of wood.

And yea, I am so cool I have an entire filing cabinet dedicated to just tear sheets.  Fully labeled  Exterior, Fireplace, Lighting, Flooring etc...   I harass my poor Mom and Mom-in-law for their left over magazines.  And, I frequently stop by my local thrift shops to swipe all of their home decor magazines.  I have Country Life magazines from the 90s.... That's how you can pin point real timeless design!!!  I'm moving in just 2 weeks today, and it's killing me to part with my magazines, but I can't imagine moving them.  I seriously have like 100. 

Anyway, back to Kelly Green...  A few key pieces, or accessories....
