Okay so my title is a bit dramatic but my husband and I were both scared for our lives when we hung the Ikea light fixture! Take a look for yourself, you can tell how tall my husband had to climb up on a ladder. I was the person down below holding the ladder to keep it from slipping or moving. Scary stuff, both my husband and I are scared of heights. Thank you Lover, you are my hero!
But somehow the scariness of it all just fades away when I see the end result hanging beautifully in our entryway.

Love it! IKEA is a weakness of mine! I live in Kansas City and drive to Minneapolis at least every summer to go shopping there! It's great!
Gorgeous! Come redo my house please???
You actually got one of these! I think they're so pretty. It looks great in your house!
What a great focal point!! Wonderful job!
Improving our interiors is worth the risk isn't it Leah?! Hoping to get to Ikea soon.

Love this! and yes, this is crazy high! but I bet it was all worthy, looks fantastic. xoxo
wow, it makes your entry so dramatic now-love it. i really like the different frames and art by your stairway too.
curious, does your husband ever care about your decorating decisions or does he just sit back and relax ( i know he bought you the fixture for your bday). my husband has so many opinions and is so difficult sometimes-you are so lucky!
Your house is SO stylish! The ikea pendant you were given for your birthday looks greta in your entryway, too!
That light looks fantastic up there. Thank God for handy men. XX
Very fun light! I bet it looks pretty cool at night :)

It's beautiful! I would have been super, super scared to hang it too! I would have been afraid to drop it...or to fall!
Looks great! I would have been terrified going up that high! xx
Awesome!! Girl you would totally rock as a Visual Merchandiser (set up show rooms) I did it for over 6 years and LOVED it!!! You truly get to experience every style available to design. I have many many styles and I got to decorate to my hearts content:)
