Lantern Love

Im finishing up a kitchen renovation for a local client (which looks amazing and I cant wait to share pictures) and were at the point of choosing light fixtures. Most have already been selected and some already installed, but we wanted to find something extra special for the foyer light as you enter into the home.

The tricky part of the equation? The Ceiling Height!

An average home usually has an 8-0 ceiling height, but some have cathedral ceilings in the foyer so a grand and beautiful chandelier can be admired. Not this house. But thats okay because with a little hunting I was able to find quite a few attractive pendant style lantern fixtures that would compliment the aesthetic of the design.

Check them some of my favorite lantern choices

Whats your favorite? Its so difficult to choose, right?!

Dear Chicago House,

I have been a bit slack on the old blog front this week and Chicago teen has not penned anything either. Blame it on extreme Chicago heat but the real reason is that I have been up to my eye balls in work. As a self employed web and graphic designer that is something never to complain about!

So Arty Farty Friday is a quick sketch this week

A simple flower in pen and ink. Don't you think it would make a lovely gift tag?


Now maybe next week I will get Chicago teen to share some of the art work she has just completed in a High School class. She got an A+, so I think it is more than worthy!

Love from
