Let's Talk Lights
Back in November we had overhead lighting installed in the nursery. We used a temporary light until the right light came along.
This what the light was looking like.
Pretty boring right? I know I want some sort of drum light in there so I started looking around. My first stop was Shades of Light. I had read good things about them around blogland. I entered orange in my search and this came up.
It's the same one from my mood board. I love the orange but we know I am not paying $159 for a light. This one also caught my eye.
Something about the pattern stuck out to me. Again, at $149 not really an option. I did notice it comes in just the drum shade by itself for $69 which is more reasonable. I figure it wouldn't be too hard to make my own. I made the drum pendant in the breakfast room with a pendant kit and shade. I would just have to cover it with some funky fabric.
I've also seen a few options in Ikea that I liked.
The Alang is very much like a drum pendant and would be super easy to paint or cover with fabric. It also would be less expensive than buying a separate pendant kit and drum shade, in which the shade itself can be pricey for the size I want.

I also like the look of the Boja. The straw shade would add a natural element to the room.
I know I have some time to figure it out but I've already taken the boob light down and want a new fixture fast.
