Today we’re talking bedroom lighting. There are plenty of ways to light up this room – but we’re only focusing on two. So if you had absolutely no other choices, which would you rather….pendant lamps hanging on each side of the bed or one large chandelier in the center of the room?
With bedside pendant lamps, you can go big and bold enough so that they are the focal point of the room, as seen in both of the example images above. But, would you still need other lighting around the room? Depending on the size of your bedroom, you probably would. Perhaps some track lighting from the ceiling, or various table lamps and floor lamps scattered around would do the trick.
A chandelier in the center of the home gives you the freedom to bring the drama right into the center of the room. You can still add table lamps to your nightstands, but I would probably go for a subdued lamp as to not take away from the fabulosity of a glamorous chandelier or large pendant light.
But it all depends on personal preference – so tell me, would you rather bedside pendant lamps or a large chandelier if you had to choose for your bedroom?

Materials: Effectiv, Abstrakt, Capita Description: In this hack, I take an EFFECTIV Add-on (high), original price $80, purchased in the As-Is department for $45, a set of CAPITA angled brackets ($14.99), ABSTRAKT kitchen door piece, regular $74, also purchased in the As-Is department for $1.99. The first thing I had to do was take some isopropyl alcohol and remove the “As-Is” and item number written on the back side of the cabinet (which will be the front part of the bar). The As-Is department apparently now requires that the words AS-IS and the item # be marked in a prominent place on the furniture, which I find ridiculous, because it potentially ruins the piece.

Designer and architect Reinier de Jong has just released the versatile REK coffee table . The table grows and adapts to your needs. For example, when you’re not entertaining, perhaps you’d like to close it up, but when guests come over, you might want to move the sliding parts outwards to accommodate extra drinks and plates. Or, you can keep the sliding sections and store magazines and other things underneath. Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

Materials: Ikea Dave, 1/4″ wood insert, furniture tabs, Induru tripod, Manfrotto Joystick Tripod Mount Description: I immediately enjoyed the use of Dave once assembled. However, after some use I discovered it was not as stable as I would have liked. Meaning, it was not meant for leaning or piling extra accessories on. Then, my kids had their fun with it and put it to its test. I thought it would be ok for my son to use as a Lego platform for a day

TGIF!
Any fun plans for the weekend? I’ll be tuning into the Super Bowl to watch the commercials and to see if I win any pools that I’m in – how about you?!
As always, here are our weekly six links from the work week ending 2.3.12!
1) If you feel like taking a daydream vacation, check out these 15 unbelievable resorts on Freshome.
2) Speaking of the Super Bowl, did you know that Americans will eat more that 1.25 BILLION chicken wings on Sunday? And 4.4 million pizzas just from Pizza Hut, Domino’s and Papa John’s. Crazy!
3) An easy way to add some color and flair to a medicine cabinet. (And how to organize it, too!)
4) Different ways to dress up this Glass Tube Chandelier – from color liquids to fresh flowers.
5) Considering buying a Springform pan this weekend just to make this Flourless Chocolate-Pomegranate Cake.
6) I’d probably take a bullet for this decadent carmelicious sofa.
If you have links to share, please do so in the comments!! Happy Super Bowl weekend!
