    I know a lot of people aren't a fan of the light fixture but I kind of like it lol It reminds me of a beachy vibe and feels like she brought an outside island vibe inside. Which is a nice touch I would enjoy. Being surrounded by everyday modern and being stuck inside I would enjoy the beachy vibe!

    Awe, I really wanted to see the bedroom too. I was like oohhh we are getting a two for one...and then we it was just the office. BUT wow the office turned out really amazing and the light had grown on me...the only part I don't like is the way the straw kind flips out at the end, but the feel of it fits the room for sure.
