Hello friends and TGIF! Well, on this end things are really starting to pick up steam in PB and it is quite exciting. I have been very busy particularly this past week trying to finalize bathroom selections (tiles\/marble) as it is due to the job site around June 1st, which will be here before we know it.\u00a0 Also have been making lighting decisions so lots going on.<\/p>\n

Today’s is about lighting,mostly outdoors. Nothing like a deadline looming to make you pick up the pace and make decisions. I was so happy I finally get to use gas lanterns as this is a look I have always loved. I have looked into several companies and finally settled upon one who not only offered wonderful personalized service but most important gave me the look I am after!<\/p>\n

We need 2 for the front door, 2 for the back door, three for the garages and one for the rear door. In addition we will need fans with lights for the big porch so I am adding some ideas for that here as well. As I always do here are a few recent progress shots, wood siding has gone on and chimneys almost done<\/p>\n

I went back and forth between the lantern with a glass plated top or a copper plated top and decided on the copper plated top as to me it looks a little more substantial.<\/p>\n

Here is what I am getting…cannot wait! Thanks to Copper Sculptures <\/em><\/a>for making my gas lantern dreams come true:)<\/p>\n

The finish above is an upgraded finish which basically fast forwards the patina cycle, love the finish<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And on the subject of fans, I am all ears if you have a great recommendation for a specific fan or company. A few possibilities-<\/p>\n

Think this is a great option as it features a lighter wood and love the added plus of a belljar, click here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another pretty option from Horchow, the oil rubbed bronzed finish goes with pretty much everything, click here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I like this color and idea for some of the bedrooms, the weathered wood would work well click here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of decisions but I will say one thing I do love my lanterns! If you’re in the market for beautiful lanterns (gas or electric) I definitely recommend them, tell them Tina sent you and maybe they might just sharpen their pencil a tiny bit.<\/p>\n

I could not be happier with the custom experience, the quick turnaround and excellent customer service. Next time, it will be all about bathrooms, knee deep in those as I speak. And of course I am thrilled with my architect and builder, a fantastic team.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping in and following along with me, this is where the fun really begins. Hope you have a wonderful day and end to your week…..<\/p>\n
