Bright Idea: West Elm Pendant Jars

I must admit, being a homeowner is more thrilling than I ever could have imagined. I am not a shopper (ask anyone in my family), but owning a home has brought out this new side to me – shopping for furniture and decor! All of the “hot deal” websites are killing me – I actually take a sigh of relief when I get an email from Ideeli, Joss and Main or Gilt and DON’T see anything I “must” have. Those, ironically, are good days.

About six weeks ago, I did find some must haves from West Elm – glass jar pendants. And what goes better with one pendant, than four additional jars to join the party?

Cuteness, right? Well…the savvy homeowner I am not only got to purchase some fab lights to replace the hideous old ones, but I also became a master electrician. Okay, master is a bit of a stretch, but I did learn to install pendants, and in the process added a new bragging badge to my ever-growing “I’m a homeowner so I must learn new things” sash.
