I bit the bullet and bought some expensive lighting today. This will probably be the only expensive lighting, as the budget is tight; everything else will come from Home Depot or Menard's or Lowes, whichever is cheapest, and will be replaced someday down the road, when I manage to publish another book. (Knock on wood.)
From Restoration Hardware:
Three single industrial pulley pendants, to go over the island:
Four library sconces for, y'know, the library:
From Rejuvenation (all customized to coordinate in oil-rubbed bronze and with simple shades, as in the Mock's Crest, so the pictures below are a little misleading; you'll need to use your imagination a bit):
One Mock's Crest pendant for the main hallway:
One Lair Hill fixture for the powder room:
One Brightwood pendant for above the kitchen sink:
And one Council Crest pendant for the kitchen's eat-in area:
