Farmhouse Style Wall Lights

January 26, 2018

I’m a little obsessed with wall lights right now.  As we’ve been working on our house plan, we’ve been making notes about where we’d like lighting in the new house, and I might be going just a tad bit overboard.  The lighting in our current house isn’t super bright, which has always frustrated me a little.  I constantly find, when I’m working on a project or cleaning, that it doesn’t seem like there’s enough light even though they are ALL ON!  We have a lot of trees that surround our current house and it’s very shaded here, so there generally isn’t a lot of natural light either.  Because of this, I’m probably just overcompensating by attempting to put wall lights absolutely everywhere in our new home.

The problem is, wall lights just look sooooo good.  It’s hard not to want to stick one in every plausible place.

Bathroom mirrors?  Sure, we need a few above those!

Garage doors?  Light ’em up!

Over EVERY built-in, bookcase, window seat, and opening shelving unit?  Obviously a necessity.

Above doors and windows?  Interior and exterior.  Check and check.

Don’t forget beside all beds…  Think of all that space we’ll free up by getting rid of bulky lamps.  Wall lights to the rescue!

It’s a problem, you guys, because at this rate I’m going to have seventeen thousand wall lights in my new home and if that wiring job doesn’t accidentally send my husband into cardiac arrest, the electric bill just might.

Check out some of these awesome wall mount lights that I’ve found – all on Amazon, all for under $50!  Let me know which ones are your favorite and where you would install them!

25 Books of Christmas - child gift idea

25 Books of Christmas Advent Calendar

Happy Thanksgiving!! I thought today would be a great time to share this activity that we will be doing with Evie this year in December! I recently heard something interesting, which basically said that you should swap out your child’s books at the same time they outgrow their clothes. It’s a good reminder that their […]

Instagram post 2191550632384823765_4783526414 I’m currently sitting here on a chair covered in plastic in the sunroom, waiting for an appointment with a contractor and getting some Christmas ideas for Evie. She’s playing on the floor with all the games we just brought over yesterday.  Its such a fun thing to just take some time to enjoy this new space, even in its half-finished state. Move-in day is approaching fast!! #sycamoreandslate #sunroom #farmhouse

Instagram post 2169031011253737597_4783526414 This room has been one of the most fun to design. That chalkboard wall is one giant blank canvas that I think I’ll enjoy as much as Evie and her cousins! The little house front leads to a play space under the stairs just tall enough for little ones, complete with a play kitchen. 🤩 I have so many more ideas for this space and can’t wait til we’re in this house so we can really start enjoying it!

Instagram post 2152507466281609458_4783526414 This week’s goal for me has been getting our master bedroom, bathroom, and closet as clean as possible at this stage of our build. The bathroom and bedroom still have several things that done to them before they’ll be ready for a final cleaning, but the master closet is almost completely done (minus some touch up around the window)! I love that we have one space in our house that feels finished. Can’t wait to start bringing our stuff on over!! #sycamoreandslate #mastercloset #swargos #sherwinwilliams #slatwall #farmhousecloset #manningtonadura #margateoak
