Laundry love

I love having a pretty laundry - some people say that a pretty laundry makes the task easier - well I don't know about that - but it is nice to have a room that you use and go through that looks nice.

I decided to make a light fitting using clothes pegs. I used some wire mesh left over from when we made the aviary. I bought a round wire ring from lincraft and attached the two together. Using a lampshade we cut off the top bit and welded it to the top of the fitting. Then it was simply a matter of putting the pegs on and using a batten fix pendant thingie to hang it up. I'm very pleased with how it looks.

Here's the short list of what we'd I'd like that is also realistically affordable.

Three to hang over the kitchen island bench

Dining table light fitting
(hubby wasn't keen on the orb light at Early Settler)

A little bit of special bling and prettiness for the mudroom

The rest of the light fittings are DIY batten fix

- much kinder on our bank account.

For the boy's rooms and rumpus

More bling and prettiness for the laundry, study, entry,
spare room (which will be the unofficial study) and ensuite. 

The rest of the light fittings: bathroom, toilet, pantry, etc.

This is also the kinder on our budget version and therefore
what we will be more likely to buy than the fitting above
for the laundry, study, spare room,  entry and ensuite.

I've seen the light

Finally found the light to go above our dining table. And the price!!!! I'm so pleased! Bargain!!!!

Zola 4 Light Chandelier from Early Settler - $129

Pity they don't have the pendant lights I'd like for the kitchen island at a similar price...
I'd happily settle for the light below if it was in the right colour.  At $120 less than the Hamptons style light I'd really like I'd be quite happy with this...

Grantham Pendant from Early Settler - $99
