Dining room

CHEAP TO CHIC: BLACK PENDANT LIGHTS! (take two)

December 21, 2011
  • Share
Sleek modern kitchen with three black dome pendant lights hung over a black dining room table surrounded by upholstered chairs with higher back chairs at the head of the table.

I like this image above of the dining room with 3 large matte finish black dome pendant lights hung above the dining table. Caught my eye.

I like a nice black dome pendant lamp. Visually striking yet so basic at the same time. Eye catching indeed. (Oh btw…I’ve been using the word indeed a lot lately. Is that annoying? Every time my boss at my during the day job asks me a question, I answer “indeed”…my sister DS was saying something about dinner the other night via a text and I answered “indeed”. I think and I hate to say it I may have picked up this “indeed” habit from my guy friend BN…not sure…but if I did pick it up from him, he should be ashamed of himself for introducing “indeed” into my life. I use it as a crutch. When I don’t have much else to say, I just say “indeed”…when someone asks me a question I’m trying to avoid or don’t know how to answer, I say “indeed”…it sounds smarter then “I dunno” or “Uh duh” or “Yeah okay” but it means the same thing. Indeed. Can the word “indeed” replace all forms of communication…is it a catch all for everything? Hmmm…my answer is “indeed”. LOL!)

Anyhoooooooooooo…back to black pendant lamps. Seems that these black dome shaped lamps have caught my eye before…see this post for October 2010. Maybe it is the time of year…randomly I landed on this photo above which inspired me to do this post last week and when I did a search on the internet for black pendant lamps…my old post came up. Hmmm… Either this is a form of genius or a complete lack of creativity on my part. I’ll let you be the judge. Indeed. (Oh. I forgot…I’ve also been using indeed as a form of punctuation or just as declaration. I use it when I am trying to be vague too.)

All this to say…here are black pendant lights in today’s CHEAP TO CHIC!

365+ Brasa Black Pendant Ligh
Ikea – 365+ Brasa Black Pendant Light – $39.99 (above)
Topan VP6 Black Pendant Lamp w/black matte finish
Hive Modern – Topan VP6 Black Pendant Lamp w/black matte finish – $580 (above)
Black Skygarden Pendant light
yLighting – Skygarden Pendant – $1992 (above)

Which of these dome hanging lights to you like the best? Could you see these working anywhere in your home as well? Do you like the look or just loathe it? Would be very interested to know. You know. 🙂

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Just a few days until Christmas and counting!

P.P.S. I have such nice neighbors…some have stopped by with holiday gifts (last night I got a visit from a few), they’ve dropped by cards and I’ve gone by to visit others.  I have so enjoyed the holiday spirit on my street in the Hollywood Hills.  On the way home the other night, I also stopped by friend and decorative artist Jean Horihata’s house to visit with her and her husband Mark and their daughter.  Jean made me this holiday arrangement with silver leaf gilded pomegranates that she made herself!  So nice.  They are sitting in the window of my kitchen.  I am enjoying the holidays.  Everyone is in such a good mood.  I like!

Homemade hand gilded pomegranates in my kitchen – a gift from my friend and artist Jean Horihata. (above)

P.P.P.S.  I need to get all of my neighbor holiday gifts together and walk around and spread a little holiday cheer!

P.P.P.P.S.  I also have to do a little good this holiday season in the form of charitable giving.  Sounds cliche…but it makes me feel good to give to my charities (side bar for my two favorite right now).  All on the to-do list between now and Christmas!

P.P.P.P.P.S.  We’re doing Secret Santas at the office…so stopped off at a music store last night and got that gift off my list. We also have to write a poem about our Secret Santa person.  I’ve gotten the same person a few times now…wondering if I can use a poem I wrote 5 years ago and just say it with a different accent or something to change it up?  I’d like to point out, I am not being lazy in just wanting to recycle a poem, I am usually the only one in the group who actually writes the poem.  One year, the person who was my Secret Santa simply wrote for their poem something like “Coco is nice.  Coco is great. Merry Christmas.”.  The poems I write are several lines (I’m sure you can believe I have no problem with writing too much) and usually take up a page or more.  Oh did I mention, I am Secret Santa to my boss!

    I love that Y Lighting pendant. I installed it in a project a couple of years ago and it is amazing. There are shadows that are cast on the plaster relief interior which just add another dimension to the light – amazing!
    Great post, love your blog, thanks for the continued inspiration.

    Those are so sleek and stylish-would look fabulous over a rustic farm table.

    Who wouldn’t love a pendant like that in their dining room! I love the concept of writing a poem to go with your secret santa gift! Too cool! We are doing family secret santa’s this year, we are all on a budget, but it has forced everyone to consider their gift giving more wisely, I think it is something I’d like to repeat again in the future. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and all of your Christmas wishes come true.

    🙂 Hazel

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
