If you've been following my journey with the flip house, you know that I'm always on the hunt for the perfect finishing touches. And let me just put it out there: Amazon is the MVP when it comes to farmhouse lighting. Yes, you read that right—Amazon, the online marketplace with everything from A to Z, is my go-to for lighting fixtures that add that rustic, cozy charm we all love in a farmhouse setting.

You might be wondering, "Why Amazon?" Well, let me tell you, the lighting options available are not just good; they are exceptional. And the best part? The prices won't burn a hole in your pocket. It's like stumbling upon a hidden thrift store gem, but online!

As someone who's incredibly visual, I often find myself hesitant to click that "Buy Now" button without seeing the product in person. We've all been there, right? The fear of the unknown, especially regarding home décor, is real. But let me assure you, the fixtures I've chosen for the flip house have exceeded my expectations. They're not just fixtures but statement pieces that bring the room to life.

Now, let's talk trends. Farmhouse lighting is all about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Think distressed wood, wrought iron, and vintage-inspired bulbs. These elements work harmoniously to create a sense of nostalgia, a nod to a simpler time, while maintaining modern functionality.

1. Pendant Lights: These are perfect for kitchen islands or dining tables. They offer focused lighting and add an element of sophistication.
2. Chandeliers: Who says chandeliers are only for mansions? A rustic chandelier can be the centerpiece of your living room, creating a dramatic focal point.
3. Wall Sconces: Ideal for hallways or flanking a bathroom mirror, these add subtle elegance without overwhelming the space.
4. Lanterns: These can be hung or placed on a surface. They're versatile and add a touch of whimsy.

I'll be linking some of the fixtures that have transformed our flip house and some other farmhouse lighting options that have caught my eye. Trust me; you'll want to add them to your cart immediately!

If you decide to take the plunge and purchase any of these fixtures, please share your photos! I would love to see how these pieces elevate your space and make it uniquely yours.

James worked for many years in construction & home renovation. He was an extremely talented carpenter & general laborer. It was always our dream to have the opportunity to renovate a property together, so this is definitely bittersweet. That's what prompted us to buy the property.

We got super lucky on this project, where it didn't need extensive rehab, but I'm still learning a lot. So many little things go into a house that I don't usually think of!

We're doing much of the work ourselves, but we know when to bring in professionals because it's outside our skillset or just easier for someone else to do it.

My dad is the real MVP of this renovation. He has been scheduling all of the outside contractors & he has picked some trustworthy people so far. Because James had such a broad skillset, he could do almost all of the renovations in our primary home, so looking for outside laborers was a new experience for me.

Overall, I'm excited to share our progress & some projects I'm working on at the renovation!
