when selecting the lights for the outside of my house, i knew i wanted something classic...with either a silver or a dark grey/black finish. scale is a HUGE (no pun intended) issue when selecting exterior lights. most purchase lights that are dwarfed by the elements of their home's exterior. of course, you need to take measurements of where the light will be installed and make sure that the light will FIT, but if you are deciding between the "medium" light, and the "big" light, i say it is almost always better to go BIG.

i looked at hundreds and hundreds of lights, and it seemed like every time i found something that i loved it was super, duper expensive.

i thought so.

i kept coming back to the selection at restoration hardware. they have several finishes available on nearly all of their lighting, and they are so classic. it was hard to pass up.

here are the lights that will be mounted on the front pilasters---on either side of the front door.

they are the stockholm sconces from restoration hardware in the weathered zinc finish. i totally lucked out and managed to get them on clearance for $159 each, which is pretty insane, considering the size and look of these lights! even though i ordered them 2 months ago, they are on back order until the middle of may.

sadly, this light is not available anymore, but the pendant version is available here.
