Today's hanging lights roundup (a mixture of finds from both sides of the Atlantic) was inspired by my friend, former editor, and interiors genius, Katie, who works at Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles in Georgia. In particular, she turned me onto Stray Dog Designs and the funky birdcage fixture at top right. I think it would be perfect for a child's room as well as a fun anywhere-light for a bungalow or cottage.

If I had a dream house with 11 rooms in it, I would definitely outfit them around each of these fixtures. Seriously! When I tried to make "my pick," I found myself writing that next to every offering!
