Lights

We will have some energy star rated fixtures to be listed here and many CFLs or Energy efficient bulbs. We are working on choosing them now...

I found a really cool website for a light fixture company in Oregon to share: www.schoolhouseelectric.com I love their unique bungalow lighting. Not sure if it fits in with our design.

I'm starting to like lights from a company called www.dolandesigns.com
here is the one I like for the island http://www.lampsusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=955 We'd do 2 of them.
I'm using magazines to find the look we want and then sourcing where they got their products. Magazines are sooo helpful and practically free!

Today, 2/26, I had to decide where to place our ceiling mount fixture above the future dining room table. Because we have this open floor plan, it was really hard to nail something down. Originally I was going to just do all canned lighting, but I don't think that will really give us enough light while eating or entertaining. My builder helped us make this decision by showing me a home he built around the corner. For some reason, this decision stressed me out. I'll have to report back if it looks good when we move in.
