New house: Lighting Selections

September 28, 2022 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Hi friends!  One of the top questions I get asked about our new home is for details on the lighting!  I promised I would get it together and put it all in 1 spot and here it is!  We have still not moved in, many lights don’t have shades on them, we are missing lightbulbs, many shades still have plastic on them, they haven’t been polished, etc so when you are looking at my actual photos keep that in mind.  Once the house is complete I will have tons of photos of our lighting, but I wanted to get this together quickly since there have been so many questions.

A home really comes together when all the details go in.  Lighting is sooo important to get the look and feel you are going for.  I am all about the look for less, but in some areas, it makes a big difference to get the real deal.  Especially when it comes to brass lighting.  Brass finish is super important.  There is a wide range.  Visual Comfort makes a gorgeous brass.  It was very helpful in achieving the classic, timeless style I am going for.   Some brass finishes are too yellow, too brown, too glossy, etc.  This is an area I would spend more money in.  Especially in the main rooms.

I definitely used some look for less lighting, but it was in secondary bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.  If you are using chrome and rubbed bronze fixtures it is much easier to do the look for less.  We mixed some of our finishes, but the majority was brass.  Here are all of the details:

  1. CLOSET CHANDELIER
  2. 1ST ENTRY LIGHT
  3. GAME ROOM LIGHT
  4. 2ND ENTRY LIGHT
  5. HEARTH ROOM LIGHTS
  6. FAMILY ROOM CHANDELIER
  7. KITCHEN PENDANTS
  8. BUTLER’S PANTRY LIGHT
  9. MUDROOM & MY OFFICE LIGHT
  10. BACK HALLWAY LIGHTS
  11. GEOFF’S OFFICE CHANDELIER
  12. PRIMARY BATH BELL JAR (image not featured above…added after this post)

  1. GUEST ROOM BATH AND BACK HALL WINDOW SEAT 
  2. HALL LIGHTS & GEOFF’S OFFICE 24″
  3. FAMILY ROOM BUILT IN SHELF LIGHTS 18″
  4. AVERY’S BATHROOM SCONCES
  5. LAUNDRY ROOM LIGHTS
  6. PRIMARY BEDROOM FIREPLACE SCONCES
  7. BRADEN’S BATHROOM LIGHT :GUNMETAL COLOR
  8. PRIMARY BATHROOM SCONCES
  9. HEARTH ROOM & KITCHEN SCONCES
  10. MUDROOM & GAME ROOM BAR
  11. POOL BATH

  1. GARAGE LIGHTS
  2. BACK PORCH AND COURTYARD
  3. FRONT PORCH ENTRY LIGHT
  4. BACK PORCH FANS
  5. BACK PORCH LIGHTS
  6. COURTYARD STRING LIGHTS

I have the hardest time with ceiling fans, because I don’t like the way the look, but they are super functional.  This is a time where function beats form!  I tried to get ones that were as traditional as possible!  I don’t want anything “cute” that draws the eye.  Just kind of want them to disappear.

  1. AVERY, GUEST, WORKOUT ROOM FAN
  2. BRADEN’S ROOM FAN
  3. GAME ROOM FAN
  4. PRIMARY BEDROOM FAN  Also sold HERE

Ok, there you have it. . . all of our lighting in 1 spot!  Hope you found this helpful.  I am so excited about all of these lighting choices!

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

I’m letting you in on a little secret...my potted flowers are not real 🤫

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

❤️AMAZON PRIME SALE❤️ : these are part of the big Amazon sale going on right now

Our family loves fruit, but I HATE how fast it goes bad! I cannot tell you how many times I have thrown out fruit for mold...in just a few days!!

These produce containers have been a game changer! They come in different sets on Amazon for a great price. I bought the 5 piece set because I wanted the larger size container.

They make it so easy to have quick, healthy food ready to go! Each container comes with a colander so you can rinse the fruit and then put it in the container. It allows air to circulate keeping the produce fresher longer!

Can be used for fruit, veggies, meat, etc!
-Dishwasher safe
-leakproof
-amazing reviews!!

🍓comment SHOP for links!
