BIG BOY BEDROOM: Lighting

Hi guys! I hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend! I had a blast. Although we did not make it to see any fireworks, I had a great time with family here at my house. And the first thing my son did as guests arrived was show them his room! I, of course was all smiles until I thought about what I haven’t changed in the room

Oh the horror. I wondered if they even noticed the room. Or did the fan take center stage? Okay, maybe no one noticed the fan! But, I do. Every time I enter the room I look up. I’ve been sourcing light fixtures to replace the fan and here are a few that I’ve considered

I thought this would make for a cool fixture

I always wanted to try to make a light fixture. But, I’m not sure if I’m up to a project (at this moment!).

I asked (on twitter) what people thought about this light (from Home Depot) and Mrs. Limestone said that it reminds her of an interrogation light, Ha!

But then I saw this at Red Lobster while out to dinner with the boys

Now I’m thinking the “interrogation” light fixture is a contender!

I like these (above), but I think it may give off too much light in the space. It reminds me of the fisherman's ceiling lamp from Pottery Barn. Maybe I can put it on a dimmer…

A lot of people think these are too feminine, but I think they’re cool. TJ likes them too!

And when I saw it being used in this room, I thought heck yeah it could work in a boys room!

I don’t know. There are so many options out there and any of them would be better than that ceiling fan. Hopefully I can make my decision by Friday. Hopefully…..
