The Elite Sixteen: design crush

I am currently building a home and so my head is currently full of design ideas. Trying to figure out the stain for the wood floors, the perfect countertops that won't be dated ten years from now ( are there any?), and a cabinet style I won't regret. I feel so lucky to be getting to choose all these things for the whole house, that also includes all the design elements, like pendant lights.

I am not a crystal chandelier kind of person, I like my home design elements simple, modern and classic . I really love pieces that have an organic feel and geometric shapes. When building a house it's important to find those design pieces that really make it your home and a perfect way to do that is with your lighting. Here are a few samples of my favorite pendant lights on Etsy. Maybe some of these will end up in my new home. What's your favorite?

Do you love the dipped trend? First let me explain what "dipped" is all about. The color dip trend is when you take an object and make it look like it's been dipped in paint. I first started noticing it in the Spring of 2012 and it's slowly started to expand. The first pieces that caught my eye were furniture with dipped legs, then it spread to wooden kitchen utensils, jewelry and now hair. It's kind of mix of a few trends ( ombre + color blocking + neon). I think it's fun and if you are scared of bright and trendy colors then just a dip will do. I really love when items are dipped in metallics like silver or gold. What's your current design crush?
