And then there was lighting...

I've been looking for lights for the front porch since we moved in. Finally, this week, I found something that I liked from Hinkley Lighting. These are from the Tahoe collection, and I think that they'll go very nicely with our front door. Our current light is bent, rusted, and cracked, so these should be a huge improvement! I can't wait until they arrive. I ordered them from Lightingshowplace.com, because they were the only online lighting store that I could find that had a reasonable return policy (no restocking fee, 30 days to decide) and free shipping, plus I found a coupon code that saved me $20 on my order!

This lantern will hang next to the front door. We've had a hard time finding something that would work in this narrow space. And I'm still looking for a cool Arts and Crafts style vertical wall mailbox, if you have any suggestions. I love the Post wood vented mailbox from Crafthome.com but it's too wide- we need one about 7 or 8 inches wide.

Finding a cool overhead flush mount fixture for the porch ceiling has been the biggest challenge. I didn't want something that would hang down b/c the original, pretty stained beadboard ceiling is marred from the current flush mount overhead fixture. (A Builder's Basic or whatever from Home Depot- seriously like $12.99 and frightfully ugly.) I really like this one. Hinkley had a great selection if this is something that you're searching for also! I'll let you know how I like the company when these come in. Have a great weekend.
