Get the Look: 48 Pendant Lights Perfect for Hallways

Following up on yesterday’s post Montage: 28 Hallways With Pendants, I’ve rounded up 48 pendant lights that are perfect to use in succession in long (or short) hallways. Good lighting definitely works to improve home ambiance and helps keeps moods lifted, especially in these dark winter months. (As much as I loved Copenhagen, I suppose it’s best I don’t live in Scandinavia.)

I tend to refer to our downstairs as a dungeon (we live on the parlor and lower levels, so to speak), but at least the lower levels house the bedrooms. Thankfully the living room, where my desk (and work sofa!) is has a large bay window that looks onto a lovely urban view of historic buildings, and right now, trees with lingering red and gold leaves. The ceiling is also rather low, so likely I’ll have to go with flush or semi-flush mount fixtures, but I wanted to provide you with an array of pendants that would enliven more prominent (or humdrum but high) hallways.

Cuing off the styles in yesterday’s post, you can see that pretty much any style of pendant can work. I think I’ve sourced a few of all the examples shown: wicker pendants, copper & brass pendants, schoolhouse pendants, industrial cage pendants, colorful and all black dome pendants, classic lanterns, geo faceted pendants, simple drum pendants, glass pendants (including swirly Murano glass styles), capiz shell pendants, Moroccan style star pendants, globe pendants, and the ever trendy bare bulb fixtures.

Get the Look: 27 Black Home Furnishings

Since black is *the* color for decor, and I’ve done plenty of posts focusing on black decor, including black kitchen pendant lights and rooms with black walls for LampsPlus and black bedrooms for the Matouk Bedding blog, I thought it was time to do a roundup of black home furnishings and accessories. From black flatware to black seating, there are 27 choices, all with distinctive details or in interesting silhouettes. (Come to think of it, though, I may never have done a roundup of rooms with black walls here. . . perhaps I owe you one!)

Get the Look: Crafty Masks

Halloween is a pretty big deal in Boston. In some neighborhoods, it’s as big a deal as baseball. My neighborhood goes all out for Halloween. (Coincidentally, the Red Sox World Series Championship parade will also make its way through these parts.)

Tonight, our neighborhood playground will be swarmed like no other day, with kids and parents (moms and dads), and even grandparents. Kids run wild, allowed to finally wield swords, and pizza boxes are piled high. It’s a sort of coming out party for neighborhood newborns too, who make their debut as pumpkins and ducks. A huge hayride carts families around the block and glow sticks on strings are for sale.

Before long, everyone filters out. Many start out at a nearby city home (mansion, actually), whose owners stage quite the party every year, with Hollywood style decorations in the yard, wine, shrimp, and other delicacies for the grownups, along with punch and chicken nuggets for the kids. Very generous indeed. Then, it’s time to trek up and down the several blocks closed to cars, for the candy.

I love M&Ms, Hershey bars, and Reese’s peanut butter cups, so Halloween is a must for me. But more than that, I love the sense of community that night. Parents put on costumes, not to outdo each other, but just for the fun of it. It’s a time to catch up with neighbors I haven’t bumped into in months, and a time to hang out with the kids, in the street, after dark.

Admittedly, I personally haven’t worn a costume on Halloween since before I had kids. I dressed up as Madonna for an ’80s party on the Cape this summer, and I wore a mask and satin gown for a Carnival-themed fundraiser at the Boston Opera House a few years back, but nothing on October 31. However, in honor of this Halloween eve, I pulled together some fun, tasteful, and crafty masks on Keep.com. Check out today’s Keep blog post and my ongoing Masked! collection, which includes over 50 cute masks so far.

Get the Look: 30 Modern Candlesticks

I don’t actually light candles all that often (though my boys think it’s fun to have a fancy dinner with candlelight at home), but I seem to always be admiring candlesticks. I should at least make more effort to light candles on Shabbat! No reason (I don’t think) that I couldn’t use some fun, modern candlesticks instead of the traditional silver ones. Here are 30 candlesticks that will inspire me (and you) to add ambience into winter evenings.
