losing the dream

I've been hunting for flush mount chandeliers for my height challenged living room.  It's a tough one.  I found perfection... at $32k.  Sigh.  Dreams dashed.  The hunt continues.

You light up my life?

I've been experiencing an unnecessary amount of angst about table lamps.  The ceiling in my living room is too low for overhead lighting, so that leave a lot of pressure on table lamps.  I've been scouting a pair for over a year, and these MCM beauties might just make me bight the bullet.

Light Flight

I'm thinking of these sconces for a future bathroom reno.

design beyond reach

Damn, how hard is it for a girl to find an affordable sconce around here?!

I've taken a shine...

These Shine by Sho chandeliers are always appealing when I see them in stores around town.  I think it's cause they're like pieces of  funky jewelry to hang from your ceiling.  And who can resist funky jewelry in any form?  (Not this girl.)

bead the best little lamp you can

that goes for you too.

This scene in a light fixture is right up my alley.  What is it about miniature scenes that captivates me so?

 

Keeping it Light

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.  And look up.  And admire the Ash pendant light by Tom Raffield.

Your Standard X Bulb

These bulbs look awesome for decorative purposes.  They should offer custom filaments so their customers could set their own designs aglow.  I'll have to walk down the block to The Standard to check 'em out!

Bulbous

I enjoy an exposed bulb.  This fixture provides a nice frame.

I'll add this to my funky chandelier list for my future chandelier needs.

Pernilla Jansson

I guess blobby drippy forms are catching on in the world of lighting too.  It would be a quirky twist to see these in some stuffy office space.

ahoy!

I wouldn't mind if one of these lamps guided me home.  I can almost smell the ocean...

Pipe Dream

I'm on a lighting kick right now.  I'd love to randomly walk past a place like this.  Why no nighttime shots?

These guys really know how to light up a room.  I'd love to mix them in to a very traditional space.  How could you resist their silly little faces?!

My Future Chandelier

Way in the future.  It's good to keep a list though

Find it here.

Not your Grandmother's Lighting

I love anything that you can customize on a daily basis.  Doesn't it look like that girl's having a blast playing with her giant lite brite?
