Oh my goodness, I'm in love with this beautiful room. Everything from the vintage frames to the topiary to the flickering candles are just gorgeous, don't you think? But most of all, I adore that hanging bulb. Any idea where you might find one?
We just got this Star Egg Nightlight for the nursery. The lamp has tiny pinpricks, so "stars" are scattered all over the walls and ceiling. It makes bedtime feel so magical. I keep daydreaming about rocking the baby in the middle of the night and pointing out fake constellations.
When I did this Cookie house tour, I thought the Todd Boontje hanging lamp looked really cool. But I figured it belonged in a nursery...
But then I saw the same lamp in the bathroom of Pia's Paris apartment. So sexy!
Yesterday, I stumbled upon the lamp again in the amazing home of stylist Cheri Messerli.
Enjoy the long weekend, my dolls! Here's the best of the blogs this week:
A while ago, I posted about exposed light bulb pendants, but some readers were worried that the light might be too bright. Enter this half-mirrored light bulb, which directs the light upwards. Problem solved!
I love the look of these old lamps. You can find them on eBay or BellaCor.
Don't you love the idea of having bulbs hanging from the ceiling? It's so industrial and lovely. The only catch is that maybe they would be bright or unflattering...What do you think? P.S. More here.
I think I've caught Emma's pink fever. This pink Ochre handblown glass lamp is giving me all kinds of heart palpitations.
Remember the French light I had ordered a while back? Well, it arrived, but was very confusing. First of all, it came flat as a board, and secondly, it didn't fit with a non-European light fixture. I probably would have given up, but my brother Nick stepped in and rewired my whole light! He was amazing and gallant and weirdly not that scared of being electrocuted. The light is so pretty; I really love it. Thank you so much, Nick!!!
Remember the post from a while ago about that pretty copper lamp? This is a pretty group picture. Thought you might like to see it!
I've long been in dire need of a new light for my bedroom. Right now, I have to stare for hours at an old, square, flowered ceiling light whenever I can't sleep. So, when I stumbled upon this cool French lamp, I excitedly ordered it. The only thing I'm wondering about is that it's "shipped flat" -- so I guess I bend it myself? I am curious and will report back when it arrives!
Last week, Alex and I took a walk around the West Village. We were gazing lustfully into the gorgeous apartments on 9th Street--crammed full of spiral staircases and working fireplaces and huge oil paintings. One apartment in particular caught our eye, mostly because of the beautiful bubble light hanging from the ceiling. We were awestruck. Take a look....
It's enormous! P.S. The icon pendant lamp (top photo) is also a favorite.
