shaded pendants

I love shaded pendants. For some reason, I've always been drawn to them, and I think they make these rooms come alive. They are casual and chic at the same time, and these rooms inspire me to ditch the fan in our den, and add a big drum shade!

Stray Dog Designs

Like I've told y'all before in my "Like Mother, Like Daughter" post, my mom is a huge source of inspiration for me, and is a very talented interior designer in Chattanooga (Susan LeSourd Interiors). She has been raving about Stray Dog Designs for years. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the owners Jane and Billy Pritchard are from Chattanooga, but their creative, handmade pieces are one-of-a-kind!! 

This pink drum pendant is in "my room" at home in Chattanooga...you know how that is. You leave home and over time, "your" room becomes whatever it is your mother wants it to be! :) But this pink shade is so fun and makes the entire space come alive!

I adore this green pendant!

I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite pieces, so this post may require a part 2. Thanks Stray Dog for your handmade, fabulous pieces and congrats on all of your press!  I love the Stray Dogma story below. They're right... different is good!
