Most Sundays we spend the morning meandering around the warehouse full of treasures that is Construction Junction. It’s mostly a way to make us feel like we’re being productive and supporting our local economy while we shake off a lingering hangover. Those hazy mornings have left us with some real gems – our dining room table, Ipe for the desk legs, my beautiful Gap mannequin, and a smoking deal on engineered hardwood floors. Lately, CJ has been hitting home runs with their lighting selection.

After scouring the internet for old shop lights to fix our kitchen lighting problem, I’d nearly given up on finding an affordable solution. I rounded a corner a few weeks ago to find nearly a dozen green enamel pendants priced at $45 a piece. We grabbed three for the kitchen and one to replace the flush-mount fixture in our new office. Last week we picked up a really darling vintage pendant for our entryway, and more recently a $12 chandelier to finish off our newly repainted guest bedroom.

We were pretty high off of the Intense Teal mantle and wanted to carry on with the bright accents. We stocked up on some equally intense Montana spray paints before realizing that none of them matched the room at all. So we dug out a few cans of white Krylon left over from that time we decided it would be a really good idea to spray paint our molding.
