Our new dining light is here and it’s perfect in it’s simplicity. I knew I wanted a large globe light–they’re classic and even a little vintage feeling. My grandma had 4 white globe lights hanging over her island in her kitchen and I remember even as a child thinking how cool they were. In my search, I struggled finding one with the right scale to hang above our large round table until I stumbled upon this 16″ globe light from Schoolhouse! It comes in two finishes and a bunch of sizes but the largest, the 16″, was just right. At night, it glows in the best way. Although that could partially be the lack of having any light here for the past few weeks talking. (On second thought, no–it’s really perfect.)
16″ is really substantial.  Substantial enough to carry an entire dining table on its own (even more so in real life, honestly!), but I rounded up a bunch with a similar vibe at different price points in case you might not need one that large. (we have #8!)
Other fun things this week
• I wore these low-cut cognac booties this week and you all went crazy over them! They are knockoffs of these Madewell ones, but just a cute imo. (They run tts).
•  Kind of want to DIY this doormat stat!
• “If you’re designing in a basement, I feel like it’s often better to just lean in to what the space wants anyway; go ahead and embrace the dark. No point painting it a sunny yellow.”  Couldn’t agree more.
• brb, never taking this off. (I got the olive in small)
• Everyone sent me this photo and all I can say is can’t wait!
• This week we launched our very first weekly e-newsletter–Love Letter. It’s been a dream of ours to put this together for awhile and I’m so happy it’s finally here. It’s filled with exclusive content and goes out to our email list every Wednesday night. You can subscribe for free right here.
• This week, we’ve been a little MIA as we poured 12+ hour days into a really amazing video shoot with a large brand.  They arrived Sunday and we wrapped Wednesday night. It was so. much. work. but a really great experience, too. We can’t say much more, but someone did capture this behind the scenes below. The concept was so cool and the team (I swear there were 20 people at our house) was so talented. We can’t wait to share more hopefully next month!!
Hope you all have a great weekend! Chris and I are headed to Park City for some much needed R&R, and to work on our secret handshake. ;)Â
i love the round pendant light —is it 18″ wide> and how wide is your kitchen table? I have a round table that is 54″ and having a hard time decidng on size of round pendant light !
Can you share the fixture length you went with for the light? Ive been looking at globe pendants too but can never decide how low it should hang..
That basement bathroom is beautiful!
The new light looks great in your space. I’d be interested in a round up of plug-in pendants for those of us that don’t have an option to hard wire. We currently have an IKEA plug-in light over our dining table which does the job but isn’t very stylish. The first pendant you have on the list is a plug-in but the shade is plastic. Would love to see some CLJ picks!
Ok the globe with the gold detail at the top is fabulous. It makes it modern but yes I totally agree that they’re a bit vintage to begin with. Can’t wait to hear about your big brand announcement!
You shared your office lounge chairs on IG but I can’t find it saved. Would you mind sharing the link again?
