Kitchen Lighting Update Reveal

Do you ever get something and then right after, you find something you like more ? That’s what happened with our kitchen lights. Although I’m slightly embarrassed that it’s been less than a month since we installed the other ones, I’m so excited to share the new ones. It’s not that I didn’t like our previous lights, BUT, I’ve wanted these new lanterns for such a long time. And of course, they went on major sale right after we put up the other ones. So….here we are…the second kitchen update reveal!

Reason #1 that I HAD to have these lights: They are the perfect finish! And I mean perfect. The distressed bronze matches our wood stools and granite and creates a soft contrast to our white cabinets. The previous lanterns were more of a black which I felt were to stark of a contrast with the majority of our home. 

Reason # 2: They resemble an antique street lamp. How charming is that? I love the elegant and ornate details and flower shaped bobeches. If you don’t know that word (I didn’t), it’s the collar on a candle socket designed to catch the wax. Fun fact of the day!

The third reason I had to have these lights was their size. They are large enough to make a statement without overcrowding or separating the space. I feel like the most common mistake I see is going too small with lighting.. it’s ok to go big!

The new lanterns are just what I hoped for  and I don’t plan on changing them anytime soon. If you love the lights as much as I do, you can shop them along with some of my other favorites!
