Lighting and De-Ryanizing

As many before me, and many to come after, there are some things I've been considering when it comes to de-Ryanizing (yep, that's a term!) our home.  I'm not really a big fan of builder grade lighting fixtures, so over time I'd like to replace a lot of the lights that come in the home.  I think this will happen little by little, no big rush to get this done.  But, while I'm thinking about other décor I've been pinning ideas for lighting.  Without further ado, here are a couple of replacement ideas!

In the kitchen, we are adding pendant lighting so I will actually need to get something for there sooner than later:


Hubby likes the idea of having something clear so the view is not obstructed.
 
Pottery Barn - Harlowe Wire & Glass Pendant; MSRP = $99
I really love the hexagon and the texture of this!


Pottery Barn - Paxton Glass 8 Light Pendant; MSRP = $499 - $549
This could go  in the kitchen or the dining room.  I really like the clustered look.

This would look great to replace any of the builder grade "boob" lights.  Love the lines of this one!
 
Shades of Light - Clear Glass Prism Pentagon; MSRP = $169
Another "boob" light replacement option.  I really like the hexagon/honeycomb look!
 
 

West Elm - Capiz Orb Light; MSRP = $149 - $299
Another one with the honeycomb look. 


YHL - Large Wire Globe Lantern; MSRP = $89
I've seen this in an office and really loved the shadows.  This might be an option for the dining room or the stairway?
 
What about you - are you looking to de-Ryanize your home?  What kind of lighting options are you considering?

  1. I hate those boob lights! I definitely want to replace those over time! I LOOVE the honeycomb ones you selected. I also really like the pendant lights you're looking at! We forgot to add pendant lighting and by the time I thought of it it was too late :( They wouldn't let us add it on unfortunately. Kind of a pain but I think I'll be able to live without them. Maybe we'll add them in the future at some point!

  2. We are getting a Capiz light from West Elm for the dining room. I want to change out the lightning rather quickly. Those boob lights are one of my biggest pet peeves. Next will be the dreaded Ryan mirror in the half bath...
