The Light after the Storm

Last year, one of my besties, Shannon, came home from a week-long trip with her family to discover that her water heater had busted while they were gone and their whole house had been sitting in 10″ of water for a whole week. It wasn’t pretty. They had to get rid of everything in their house that was now moldy and damp and completely overhaul everything.  They lived at a hotel for four months with their toddler while the whole place was redone.

I wanted to do something to help them get their lives back together after this traumatizing event and so I worked with Lamps Plus to help them get some new lighting in their brand new kitchen. We landed on the Bronx pendants, with a matte black finish on the outside and bronze finish on the inside, which really warms up the tone of the light. Randy is a musician and their vibe is pretty punk/rock n’ roll and so I thought that the pendants felt sleek and modern while still blending with their creative and artistic sensibilities.

Lamps Plus has a ton of pieces to choose from if you’re looking for new lighting for your space. It’s amazing what the right pendants can to do elevate a space and make it feel truly polished. Below, we’ve outlined some of our favorites for you…
