Let There Be Pretty Light

I am in love with lighting.  If I could choose one thing about a room that I enjoy most it is lighting.  Tying into my love for a small declaration of detail in my clothing (i.e. a lace neckline on a plain shift, etc) I love a fairly simple room with a beautiful light fixture.  I was surfing the web this week looking for some to put in my modest little apartment ceiling and these picks had me swooning – granted there were many more but these were my favorites.

Respectively: Twig Ceiling Pendant $273, HÖRBY Pendant Lamp $39.99

And this is just neat! It gives me some really nice DIY ideas.  I will make sure to show you a finished product if I really attempt it, obviously on a smaller scale.

What do you think? Too mod? Just right? Any input on the DIY idea? Let me know in the comments.
