Okay, so I hate to be one of those kind of friends who only comes around when she needs something .... but I really need your help. Or at least your opinion.
(Although, if you want to come HELP, I wouldn't mind that, either ....)
I'm working on Max's room (hooray!), and I keep going back and forth about whether or not to share along the way .... or wait until it's DONE to show you the finished product.
I guess I'm gonna have to give a little away today because - like I mentioned - I need some advice.
I'm doing a vintage/industrial/western/farm theme (not that it's really a "theme" like those nurseries with jungle animals or sports paraphernalia or Winnie the Pooh all over the place)....
(sorry, I've got nothing against Winnie the Pooh or anything, I just don't really want him all over one of the rooms in my house!)
.... but I want Max's room to have that vintage/antique feel (ya know, kinda like the rest of my house!:)~
So .... I've arrived at the process of picking a light fixture, and I'm having a tough time deciding!
And I knew YOU would be the perfect people to ask!
Tell me which of the following you like best:
#1
(the simplest -- and cheapest! option)
 |
| Industrial Cage Ceiling Light from Etsy Shop LampGoods, $69 |
#2
(SO creative and unique -- and very vintage-esque! ... perhaps too much so?)
 |
| Chicken Feeder-turned-light fixture from Etsy Shop Vintage Artindustrial, $120 |
#3
(more refined -- and very decently priced, for Pottery Barn!)
 |
| Depot Ceiling Lamp from Pottery Barn Kids, $99 |
#4
(biggest "statement piece" ... and most expensive ... but SO cool!:)~
 |
| Industrial Sphere Pendant from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child, $199 |
I would LOVE to hear your opinions!!! You can comment here or on my Facebook page, if that's easier for you! :-)
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Because it is a kid's room, I vote for the Sphere Pendant. Playful and industrial looking. However, the way it is designed, it will place shadows all over the room
ReplyDeleteOk so you know I am really cheap, so one would think I would choose #1 but I think it would cast too much light for a baby's room. Especially when getting up at 3 am for a feeding. :) So I am going with the Pottery Barn one. Its only 30 dolla more and I think it looks a lot like your style! Ok, when can I come help you install it??? :)
ReplyDeleteI like the chicken feeder, turned light fixture. How much more vintage 'farmhouse' can you get?
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for #3! It's newer AND vintage at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThe last one! That is SO cool:-)
ReplyDeleteWe hope to see you this weekend!

For the price I like the first or third options! I think they give the same feel without breaking the bank!
ReplyDelete#2 Speaks vintage farm to me more than any of the others, I would love to have that in my own house. That round thing looks like a dust collector.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a pottery barn type of gal...like that one best!
ReplyDelete#3, its cute, not too much more than option 1 and it won't make the room so bright when the light is on. :) Hope this helps!
ReplyDelete#2 fits your "theme" perfectly and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI like #1 next then #3.
#4 reads more entryway then any type of bedroom.
I like lamp #3! I think it is the most versatile and can grow with Max as the theme of his room may change! Good luck, can't wait to see the progress!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Loulee,#3 seems like it could go with several different design themes. Whatever you decide will be perfect, it always is!
ReplyDeleteLove love love #3!
ReplyDelete# 3...that would be my vote. Definitely could grow with him...and unlike #1, the bulb would be easier on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I was going to say #1, but I love everyones opinions on #3 it would be a really good choice too. I like the balance of the old look with the new cleaness of it. I agree with however say #4 would cast weird shadow...the less shadows the better when he is 2ish!
ReplyDelete#1!!!! #1 is super fun, and still feels like a child's room(but could easily transition to a big kid's room). I really love it!
ReplyDeleteHi. They are all super cute, I totally get your indecision! For the last option, I don't know how DIY you are, but thrifty decor chick did something similar and it seemed very easy and inexpensive.

Good luck! I just redid my girl's playroom. It is so fun, but agonizing over some of the details! http://www.mamabluebird.com/?p=1373
#3 = shiny and industrial - and transitional for when you change the "non-theme" in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, but my vote is for #2! I think it is masculine, has the look you are going for and is the perfect size for a bedroom!
ReplyDeleteI vote 3 or 4. I think 3 might fit better though : )

I like #3 or #1. They're all really nice, I don't think that you can go wrong with anything that you end up choosing. ~ Jamie
ReplyDelete#2 is my first choice, #3 is my second!!
ReplyDeleteI like 3.. I am not a fan of 4 since those lights are really trendy and I don't think it gives a "vintage" feel but more of a contemporary one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! None of them would be a total miss!
I LOVE #2, but you probably figured I would, huh? Can't wait to see what you've come up with:-)

I like #2 the best. Can't wait to see the room all put together!
ReplyDeleteLoving #2--it has country written all over it! Love...love...love!!
ReplyDeleteI dont know if you watch craft wars on TLC but just a few weeks ago a lady on there made a pendant light just like the last one out of blinds!!! Regular cheap everyday blinds!! She took apart the blinds, took a single blade and made a circle around a light (kit from Michaels) then slowly added more, drilling and using pins?
ReplyDeleteIf you really want #4 I would look online at TLC's website to see if they posted anything about it!
Number 1 and number 2 are my favorites!! Either of those give the feel that you are looking for to me.
