The Lights Do Make a Difference

I am starting to do some research for a home decor makeover for a friend, and I am on the hunt for some cool lighting fixtures. The ones featured below are from a variety of sources: Restoration Hardware, Moura Starr and Elk lights.

They are seeking a contemporary sophisticated mood for their place, and I think all of these fall into that category. It all depends on personal taste at this point. I am really digging the textural pendant lamp featured on the 1st board in the top left.

Looking at these fixture makes me want to redo my home! At least I can have fun decorating other people's homes. I can't wait to see what the final product will be for their dining area... :)
