More lights

I have to admit that currently our apartment has nothing but the cheapest IKEA lights we could buy when we moved it. So I'm enjoying expanding my horizons about lighting options.
Another possibility for the dining room (or maybe the bedroom, I'm going to need light somewhere other than just the dining room right?) is this cool DIY bubble chandelier that was in readymade magazine



The balls to make them are still available at CB2, and you only need 12 of the small ones. Very tempting! I need to wait until my package receiving service is back to accepting packages, but I might go for it.

Lighting options

I have various ideas going through my head about lighting. In no particular order:

Nelson pendant lamp. I think either of these look great over the table, or maybe in a kitchen?




Tube top lamp. Don't know where this would go but I like it. It also comes in a ton of colors



Arco floor lamp. Love the marble base. Couldn't see myself spending this much on lighting.



Random pendant, apparently made in Netherlands, wonder if I could find a local source before I leave...



Giant white drum pendant (no good picture, just a big huge white shade).

Prints

I don't yet have a feeling how I want to decorate the walls, but I do have my eyes on a few prints I've liked for a while



This print is called air lines and it is a map of all the scheduled flights on a given day. It appeals to me for a few reasons, flying and traveling the world is a big part of our life, husband really likes maps in all shapes and forms, and i also just like how it looks very graphic and I think it would be striking given the size (A0 poster, so BIG)





This print I love but I've been debating for months now, mostly because I can't decide between the black and white version (am I going to end up with a black and white house?) and the red version (but I'm not sure that I'm really up for the red). Also because I like a few of the others (rising of the setting sun and the new sammy seagull).

Pears!


I saw these pears from NewMoonStudio on the blog Nestled In and I had to have them. So since they are a handmade Etsy item I broke the rule of waiting till we are actually in the house and ordered them already.

(By the way I love the blog Nestled In, I think I was Scandinavian in a past life. I find it funny that after years of living in apartments where I couldn't paint the walls, I want to paint the whole place in shades of white and gray)
