Expose It and Things Will Look Brighter

I met with my Balmoral clients the other day - after the design show screen test - before my analyzing every answer I gave during the screen test... any who, enough about me and my screen test. 

They just ordered their dining room light, from Commute Home on Queen west.  It's inspired by a fixture up in Nyood, the swanky restaurant I blogged about a few months back.  It's an exposed bulb fixture, as is quite popular these days.  There are some really well done versions available now, and many from my favorite designers.  Here's a sampling for you, along with the do it yourself version created by a YDF associate. 

All the parts are available at your local hardware store to create your own, budget version of this popular look.
