um, wow ... lighting.

Well, for some reason yesterday I went to check out Rejuvenation's website (I think cos we're going to Portland Saturday and I was going to see the store's hours or something) and noticed in the homepage banner that they were offering a promotion - $100 off a $500+ order. And this is one of those places that never seems to have a sale or promotion (well, they do - twice a year I think but really ... ). So I called them up to see if at least went through Saturday. Uh, no luck -ends today (it's not even up on their website today).

So anyways, I already pretty much had the lighting for my bedroom and the back entry figured out and I didn't want to pass up a $100-off promotion so - after being on hold for 20+ minutes waiting for everyone else trying to place an order on the last day of the promotion - I got through to someone who then put me in touch with someone at the PDX store. My goal was to save on the shipping (a whopping 10% of the order total which seems awfully steep) by picking up the stuff the PDX store had and ordering the two things I would have to order so as to only pay shipping on those.

So after some finagling the order/deal with the girl on the phone (and still not 100% sure the charges are correct but I'll check it out when I pick up the stuff Saturday - the order total seemed pretty close) I got the following ...

For the bedroom on either side of where my bed will go (and matches the currently-remodeled bathroom light and the to-be remodeled bathroom lights) -

For beside the back door (to replace a bulb that's just hanging in a socket above the door right now - yes, it will mean rewiring this to mount beside the door about 5' up from the ground) -

And for inside the back entryway (um, it'll be fun to post a pic of the light that's hanging there now before I rip it out of the ceiling ... holy cow, that thing is a beauty) -

All very classic I think.

So anyways - they have to make the Rhone to my 28" specs and order the McKenzie but the other things I can all pick up on Saturday.

Next I need to order my bedroom fan before summer ... come on Restoration Hardware, have a flippin' sale (I did just sign up for their promotions/etc. emails).
