Kitchen Pendant Light Round-Up

I am in search of the perfect pendant lights for over a kitchen counter or island and I wanted to share my favorites. In a kitchen it is very important to have proper task lighting. Pendant lights are perfect because they can be adjusted to the right height above the counter to provide the best light for prepping, cooking and cleaning. In a kitchen it is important to layer the lighting, this can be done by installing: over head ambient light, under counter task/accent light along with pendant task lighting. Not that they have to be turned on all at once but the lighting in a space can make or break it!

Wall Mirror Round Up

Mirrors are a great way to reflect the beauty of a space. Mirrors can make a space appear larger, they can make a room feel brighter and they can reflect the outdoors bringing them in. They can be purely functional or they can be sculptural and serve as a work of art. After finishing the design of a clients guest bedroom we have yet to find the perfect wall mirror for the room. After doing some research I thought I would share some of my favorites:
