Laura!

It’s funny you say that because I am dumb and decided to buy a tiny Fiddle Leaf fig on the internet via the mail. In the god damn winter. Needless to say it is totally dead. I guess I lost out on 7 dollars.

I will wait till the summer time, whoops.

I do think that the location would be far enough away from the door that it wouldn’t get drafty. There is actually 3 doors you have to get into before you are in our house, the porch door, the main entry door, and the inner entry door that is shown in the pic above. I did read that those “bitches be finicky”, and I am ready to baby it.

Thanks for the link, I loved that fixture when I saw it on ‘Secrets from a Stylist’. I will surely consider a DIY or a knock off as I don’t have millions of dollars to drop on a fixture.

PS I had no idea Orlando had a blog, I will have to keep up on that.

And two: you could make this lamp too. Emily/Orlando kill. http://hommemaker.com/2011/09/21/d-i-why-orb-lando/

I know, pretty tyte, right?? Can’t wait for you to see it.

Thanks Anne! I hope I really do get around to making this space more like what I have pictured above. I think it would make the whole lower level of our house feel so good!

Hey Roonz, not exactly sure if this will be the fixture or not, but something larger, airy, and dramatic fo sho. I also like this one: http://www.designpublic.com/shop/patrick-townsend/8805

If I do go the Random light route, I’ll pick your brain on your method. There are also knock offs on ebay *gasp.
