let's talk about lighting and giveaways

One of the many, many, many things I love most about my Mom's kitchen is the lighting (though let's not forget the wine fridge). Not only does light flood in from the three walls of windows and French doors, but she's also rocking a fabulous industrial-looking pendant above the island. She happens to be quite proud of that purchase and you can't argue with her. It's a functional statement piece that always garners a, "Now, where did you get that?" from guests.

So when I came across this pendant lamp, a light bulb went off (I'm sorry, I really couldn't help myself). How unbelievable would this Normann Copehnhagen pendant look in a kitchen (or a living room or bedroom)??

I mean, of course I was immediately drawn to it, it's a Scandinavian design. But I can't imagine you not warming up to it, too. And if your kitchen is unfortunately petite (hey, I'm with ya), what a fantastic opportunity to draw eyes up towards your fierce, newly acquired light fixture than straight ahead towards your stove that's the size of an Easy Bake.

Oh and did I mention we've got a giveaway offer?? It's about time, I gave you all incentive to continue checking in here. CSNStores is generously offering a lucky reader a $40 gift card, redeemable at any of their online stores (And might I suggest you check out allmodern.com for a selection of iittala glasses that I'm lusting over to the extreme). Which means that Normann Copenhagen pendant lamp could be yours. Amongst a million other fantastic products in their inventory.
