I've been wanting to replace the pendant above our dining room table since the moment we moved into our condo. However, I knew it wasn't a priority, and therefore time and time again it would get bumped to the bottom of the to-do list. About a month ago Pottery Barn was running a 20% off lighting sale, and that's when I fell in love with this pendant. Even with the 20% off, I was struggling to justify this purchase (when we still haven't finished decorating Shay's office or our bedroom). That's when I remembered that I had some Pottery Barn gift cards from the last time I cashed in some credit card points! That helped make my decision a bit easier.

I planned this purchase to line up perfectly with a visit from my father-in-law - who just happens to love doing home improvements for us whenever he's in town (thanks Wes!). The new pendant fits in perfectly, and I really love the exposed vintage bulb.
