birthday present!

Lookee what I got for my birthday! All my dreams have come true. It's one of the only interesting-yet-simple modern porch flush-mount porch lights out there for a halfway decent price. I like the entire Hollywood Hills collection, especially the pendants.

Having searched to no avail in our local lighting stores, I purchased the porch light online. I chose Bellacor.com, which had mixed reviews and a longer wait time than other comparable merchants, but it doesn't have a ridiculous 25% restocking fee like most of the other lighting stores online, and there was free shipping via UPS.

It's too late now, but I'm curious -- have you purchased lighting products online, and if so, where? Would you recommend the vendor?

And...while I'm shopping...isn't this Westinghouse garage pendant lamp cute? Too bad I don't have a garage. The whole line of garage lights is adorable, and the price is almost too cheap to be good.

all i want for my birthday


...is a new porch light. Well, ok, if you bought me a dining room chandelier, I wouldn't complain. And a few guys to powerwash and paint the exterior of my house. And, um, that kitchen vent? And new cabinets for the kitchen and a fig tree and a carport and a patio and a garden retaining wall and a new bathroom.

This is like "Stone Soup," but opposite.
