Lamps ... Man vs. Woman!

Kim - "Don, look at these pagoda lamps ... you can order them in ANY Benjamin Moore Paint Color ... aren't they fun?!"

Don - "Can't you paint any lamp in any color if you want?"

Kim - "Ugh, that is so not the point!!"

So ... you can buy these, or start painting!!

Happy Monday ... Make it Colorful!

Still in Progress ...

but worth showing the coming together of this beautiful living room ... 

Chairs have always been my obsession.  They are like shoes.  A woman can never have too many. Don has even threatened me ... NO more chairs ... whenever I walk out the door to an antique show or flea market.  So, while I still stalk the chairs ... I am discovering a new passion.  The Lamp.  You may have seen this lamp when I blogged about this chair, you can read about it here.  

While we are pulling this room together, we had an unexpected addition!  This piece of furniture ... found in a barn, needing some love, got painted to go in the bedroom.  Well ... take a look, it now has a starring role in the living room.  And it needs a good back drop, don't you think? So a paneled wallpaper feature is in the making.  This gorgeous Zoffany Wallpaper is about to be our Star.

Next, bring on the light.  I am about to do something that I don't normally do.  I am going to mix metals.  The lamp above is gold.  The pulls on this dresser are silver (very art deco and we didn't want to change them) so we are hanging silver sconces.

Sconce

Do you like to mix?  This is new to me ... I am kind of a "purest"!  But I am feeling pretty good about my first intentional mix!!


Have a wonderful weekend ... hope you mix it up ... whatever you do!

Lamp Fetish

I tend to shop a lot for lamps on line … not because I want to, but I just haven’t found the resource that inspires me … maybe I am missing something, so please fill me in if you know of any such place in the Boston area.  But in Charleston this past weekend, I fell in love with Candelabra!  They have it all … formal, fun, modern, rustic, trendy, classic … the choices were fabulous … the lamps and chandeliers were crammed in every available spot and it was magnificent!!  If you can't get there in person, drop in on their website www.shopcandelabra.com ... a big thank you to Natalie for letting me snap all these photos!!  I have been fueled for a while!

Hope you take away a little inspiration for your home this Monday morning!
