Finally.....from my Wishlist....

Interesting weekend I must say.....it was 112 degrees on Saturday & our A/C decided to STOP working!! In other words, it wasn't blowing cold air, and the house got up to 89 degrees at night! Sleeping was a challenge & we had to wet the dogs down so they would stay cool. We are hoping to get this problem resolved today. 

It's amazing how so many of us can take something like A/C for granted until we don't have it. Trust me, I am now going to be thanking God when I feel that cool breeze coming out of these vents!

On a H-A-P-P-I-E-R note....I'm sure MANY of you have seen the Hicks Pendant lights by Thomas O'Brien and have been drooling over them like I have! This pendant has been on my wish list for quite some time! So, I finally purchased 2 of them (exactly like in the pics below) and will be super excited to get them in a few weeks! My DREAM kitchen may be around the corner and the pendants will hopefully fit right in! Available at Circa Lighting.


Do any of you have these lights? Where did you hang them? Please feel free to tell me what you think of them.

  1. I think they look great in the second picture. They need to be located above the center of the table so that no one will bump their head. Congrats on your purchase.

    *love* those lights - I think they look best in a kitchen or area that has appliances to balance the somewhat nautical feel. Sorry about the A/C that sounds pretty difficult.

    i like them. very cool. although after being a nanny for most of my life, i recognize that they do resemble a pokemon ball :)

  27. Love these....especially the chain. But then anything by Thomas is OK by me. I snagged some drawer hardware from one of his kitchens when I designed mine.

  28. Wow, lucky you! I have always liked these since I saw that first image.

  31. That kitchen was one of the inspiration photos for my kitchen too:) Ours is almost finished- just waiting for the hood over the stove! If you like, you can see it here: http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2010/07/preparing-to-move-in.html

  33. haha It was for me to adjust having no AC when I first moved to Indonesia but you do get used to it/adapt I guess LOL though we do have nice ocean breezes here that come through our open windows and doors that help keep things cool. Hope you get it fixed soon....and love the lights!
