In this post, I’ll be sharing the interior lighting sources for our modern farmhouse. But first, let me say thank you for your continued support and interest in our building journey! Your sweet comments and questions regarding our design choices have made the stressful times bearable! We appreciate your patience too, I’ll try my best to answer your questions. Hopefully many of them will be answered here!
So, to make it easy to follow, I’ll go room by room, providing the name and brand of each light. There are TONS of photos (and dust), so bare with me! :)
These black pendant lights in our kitchen were a splurge, but well worth it! We love how they complete the look in this space! I didn’t want anything too heavy above our chefs island, nor did I want to bother with keeping glass clean. These adorable Darlana pendants (small size, measuring 17″ from the top of the lantern just below the chain) are from Visual Comfort & Co. I love the shape of this rustic brown cage light by Quoizel Lighting. We hung this beauty in our foyer and it gives off the perfect amount of light! Our sweet friends at Lighting Design Company via Instagram were incredibly helpful with the selection of this light! So happy with our choice! The wood beaded chandelier (to the right of the entry) is from my friends at Antique Farm House. I’ve had this light (waiting to be hung) for months! Soon after it arrived, we learned we were moving, so I decided to save it for our new home. It currently hangs in our office/piano room, but I have plans to move it to the master bathroom above our corner tub. This sweet light has been with us for over 12 years. It hung in our daughters nursery for several years and when we moved from North Dallas, we brought it with us. If you’ve followed our IG journey for awhile, you may recognize it as the light that hung in the piano room. This sentimental momma couldn’t leave it behind, so we brought it with us (yet again) to hang in her closet. It received a fresh coat of satin white spray paint the night before it was installed. I love the angle of the wall in her closet, it’s the perfect touch of charm and character. This light was purchased at Lowes (circa 2004) and is made by Waverly.The 3-light vanity lights in all our bathrooms are called Bridwell by Jeremiah Lighting. I chose a classic streamline look that we can enjoy for years to come. This is our master bathroom, where you can see the adjoining light in the reflection. Thank goodness for his and her bathroom areas.. Who’s with me? My husband is the neat one and is happy to have his own space where (hopefully) my things will not take over… So he thinks! :)
The dining room light was an easy decision! I knew exactly what I wanted and this vintage beauty by Cyan Design sealed the deal! It’s called the Provence 6-light candle chandelier. I love the beads, distressed detail and vintage charm of this light. I’m already envisioning a pretty farmhouse table with our beloved antique dough bowl in the center, filled with colorful fall foliage!
My husband wasn’t thrilled when I told him early on in the building process that I didn’t want a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. After much moaning and groaning, he reluctantly gave in and agreed to this beautiful light! It’s from the Quoizel Voyager Collection. Our friends at Lighting Design Company came through for us again.. They are so friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend them when choosing new lighting!
At the last minute, I had the opportunity to switch out our breakfast nook light. The first one was not hanging straight and I felt the space needed some texture amongst all the wrought iron lighting in the room. I love this rustic wood chandelier… The perfect amount of texture! If you’re interested in purchasing this light, you must go through a retailer that sells Creative Co-Op. You can contact your local lighting showroom to find out if they carry this brand.
I recently changed the bulbs to Edison and I love it even more! It measures 27 inches round by 27 inches high; made of wood and metal. Please note: Their website doesn’t have a name for this light, so feel free to show them this picture to find out where you can buy your own. And last, but certainly not least… Our living room light! This is the Pearson Chandelier from Capital Lighting. This light is everything… It’s the perfect size and fit for this room! We received electricity today, so thought I’d add a few pictures with the lights on! Thanks for your patience as I gather sources to share of our home build. I hope you find these lighting sources of our modern farmhouse helpful! Choosing lighting for your home can be very challenging. My advice is to find a style that you love, so your lighting flows nicely from room to room. I’ll be working on a few more blog posts soon regarding our countertops and flooring. Have a great weekend!
Blessings,

VERY, VERY smart to go with no glass above the island!! I had thought I would go for this look or a clear glass pendant if I ever have the island again. (We may be moving so my mind is going again…) Your point makes me think the open cage is a better idea!!! And so many of the lights you have don’t have the glass–brilliant thinking! All beautiful choices.
Alicia Armstrong says
Thanks, Kristin! You have been such a loyal follower; that means so much to me! Yes, that was one thing I did not want to mess with in regards to cleaning glass in our light fixtures. The less glass, the better! In fact, I can’t think of a light I picked that really requires much dusting except for maybe the fan globes and vanity lights! :) Have a great week!
Maggie (@home.on.the.ridge) says
Great post! Thank you for sharing… love everything! I like how you trimmed out your mirrors in the master bath and mounted the fixtures on the trim instead of above it. We are doing similar craftsman style trim throughout our house and I will have to remember this – looks fantastic! And, I love that you’re planning to move that beaded chandelier from your office to above your master tub – another great idea! 😘
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Maggie! Thanks so much! The details you’ve mentioned are mostly that of the builder. This is Landmarc, by the way. I saw a comment on IG where you asked me! Sorry for the delay in responding! :)
Katie says
I am pretty sure you are creating my dream home. Every single detail is absolutely perfect!!!
Alicia Armstrong says
Lol… Thanks, Katie! It’s been a dream come true for us… Many years of waiting! God is good! Thanks for following our journey!
Lauren says
Absolutely wonderful! LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️
Alicia Armstrong says
Thanks so much, Lauren! Appreciate you following our journey!
Amy says
Wow, beautiful house and light choices! Was wondering if you could tell me where you got the light in your breakfast nook that’s attached to kitchen! Love that one, I’ve seen a few versions of it but yours is my fave! Thank you!!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Amy! I’m going to add that light to the lighting sources post. It’s made by Creative Co-Op… I’ll find out the style name and make an update! :) Thanks for your interest!
Susan says
We are in the VERY beginning stages of *thinking* about building. (We live in Central AR by the way. I’ve been following you for awhile, but somehow just caught the fact that you were here too!) The entire house is just dreamy, but the kitchen + living room takes my breath away! The vaulted ceiling, beams, shiplap, built-ins, stone fireplace…I could go on and on! I know you must be so excited seeing it all come together. Is this floor plan on the builder’s website? I’d love to see it. Because like everything else, it seems perfect too!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Susan! Small world… Would’ve been nice to meet you when I lived there! :) Feel free to email me regarding where you live in Little Rock and where you plan to build. Unfortunately, our builder doesn’t post his plans online. They only give them out once they are under contract. I know our home was tweaked from the original.
Zolane says
Every detail, every choice, STUNNING! God bless you and your family as you enjoy this new home!!!
Alicia Armstrong says
Thanks, Zolane! You’ve been such a loyal follower through this process. Appreciate you so much! Blessings!
Shani says
What color are your cabinets in the kitchen?
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Shani… I have a blog post on all the interior wall colors, including cabinet and trim colors. You can find it in the archives on the right sidebar. Thanks for your interest!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Shani! My blog post about paint colors covers walls, cabinets and trim. Hope that helps!
Alicia says
What is the ceiling height above your kitchen island? I love the fixtures!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Alicia… Our kitchen height is 10 feet! Thanks so much… Glad you love them!
Jane says
Hi Alicia, your home looks beautiful! I’ve been following you on Instagram and wanted to check out your lighting! What is with husbands and ceiling fans…Lol! We’ve been renovating and I’ve slowly been changing out lights. I’m going to look into the Darlana for our back entry. I keep seeing a lantern style and I love that these don’t have the glass! Looking forward to your reveal, xo
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Jane… Thanks for your encouraging words! Yes, that was the draw to that particular light… No glass to clean! :)
Hubby has since gotten over the no ceiling fan in the master debate. LOL
Mary says
Love your home, it’s beautiful can’t wait to see it all decorated! Love all your pics on instagram! Love your style! Thanks for sharing :) enjoy your new home!
Alicia Armstrong says
Thanks, Mary! Very kind of you to stop by and leave a message!
T.K. says
Hello, could you please share what size pendants are in the kitchen ? Are these small
Darlana or medium? Beautiful lighting :) Tatjana
Alicia Armstrong says
These are the small 17″ pendants… Thanks for your interest!
Kristi Reed says
LOVE all the lights! Our ceiling height in kitchen is 10 ft as well and I’m trying to find the medium size Darlana pendants. I haven’t seen them clearly stated in small, medium, large on shopping sites. Do you know the dimensions of these medium sized pendants? Thanks so much! I love following your instagram account.
Blessings,
Kristi
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Kristi… I measured them the other day and they are 17″, which I believe is the small Darlana pendant. Thanks for following along!
Lindsay says
Your kitchen is absolutely stunning! We are in the process of completing a similar size island, and I’m trying to figure out pendant placement. Do you mind sharing how far apart they are- the distance is perfect!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your kind words! The pendant lights are centered over our 9 foot chefs island. Hope that helps and thanks for your interest!
Kim says
Hi! I am looking for a chandelier like the one hanging in the living room pic. The pic is the one taken from kitchen, the kitchen lights are on left and right. I would live to know where the living room light can be purchased! Thank you so much!
Kimberly
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Kim… this interior lighting post has all the sources with links to shop. You should find what you need within the text of this post highlighted in light green. Hope that helps.
AK says
Hi,
Beautiful home. What brand and model is your kitchen faucet?
Thank you!
Alicia Armstrong says
I’m not sure of the model, but it’s made by Pfister… I’m sure you could find it on their site. Thanks for your interest!
Sara says
You’re home is beautiful! This isn’t lighting related but, where is your front door from? I love it!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Sara… I don’t have the source for our front door. It’s a craftsman style door, apologize for not being much help.
Missy says
Hello!
Just curious to see what paint color you chose for your kitchen island?
Best,
Missy
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Missy… I have a blog post dedicated to paint colors in the September archives. Thanks for your interest!
Paula says
I love the design of your home. I just found your blog tonight and it is fortuitous because we are putting on an addition to our century home and I am looking for modern farmhouse design ideas. Would you please tell me the dimensions of your family room/kitchen area not including the breakfast room?
Ours will be exactly like this with the way the fireplace is situated relative to the kitchen. We will have vaulted ceilings too and our beams (from the existing kitchen and really old) will be horizontally laid out across the room about halfway up the angled ceiling. We have to do that to be able to use them because they are a predetermined size.
We broke ground today and apparently it will take about 8 weeks, I have been waiting over 2 years for this!
Again, congratulations on a beautiful home.
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Paula! Congratulations on the new addition, that’s exciting! Sorry for my delayed response… Unfortunately, I don’t have those dimensions available; we don’t have access to the blue prints. Appreciate your sweet words about our home!
Ashley says
Love your kitchen and living room! Do you mind sharing the dimensions of the kitchen and living room? Thanks!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Ashley… Thanks for your interest! I’m sorry, I don’t remember the dimensions of those spaces.
Jordan says
I would also like to know the dimensions of the living room if you get a chance to measure. We are in the planning phase, and I’m trying to figure out if I will have room to space my furniture if I have walkways on the sides of the built-ins next to the fireplace. Thanks!! Beautiful home!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Jordan… I don’t have access to accurate measurements of our living. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Susan (coco) says
I love each and every light you chose! I need a few hanging lights for our kitchen and came here for inspiration. My question is, what type of recessed light bulbs do you use? The ones we have make the kitchen look yellow. Blech! I am sick of it. I want that gorgeous white light like you have!!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Susan! It’s all LED bulbs, my friend! ;) Hope that helps! Miss you! Coco
Amy says
Do you have any photo updates of your bathroom? I love the master bathroom colors and need some ideas for a tub surround and shower shower stall…thanks from Ohio for sharing your beautiful home!!
Alicia Armstrong says
Hi Amy… We are actually tying up loose ends in the kids bathroom. You can view my earlier blog posts of our master bathroom for those ideas you’ve mentioned. Hope that helps! 🌿
Heather says
I know this is a long shot but do you know the height of your living room ceiling?
Alicia Armstrong says
No, I’m sorry, I sure don’t. They are vaulted. Appreciate your interest though!
Kathy M says
I absolutely love your style. I’m in the planning stages of a kitchen remodel and I’m crazy about your island. What are the dimensions?
Alicia Armstrong says
Thank you! I’d love for you to check out the blog post right before this one of our interior design details. It shares the dimensions of my island. Thank you for your interest!
Regi says
What color paint is your island
Alicia says
Hi Regi… I’d love for you to check out the September 2016 archives, where I’ve shared all our interior paint colors there. Thanks for your interest in our home.
Cathy says
What color are the kitchen cabinets? (not the island). It’s just a pretty white. Thanks!
Alicia says
Hi Cathy… I have a archives list on the right sidebar of my blog. Those details are under September 2016 – Thanks for your interest!
Catrina says
I love your decoration in your home. I’m in the process of doing my kitchen. I love gauntlet grey and using it for my island. I was wondering what type of hardware you used in your kitchen? I really like it.
Alicia says
Hi Catrina… Thanks for reaching out and your interest in our home! The cabinet hardware was selected from the local showroom that our builder uses. However, I’m looking to replace it soon, so if you’re interested in a full kitchen hardware supply, let me know and I’ll sell them to you! Thanks and hope to hear from you!
