As always I like to share my little quirks with everyone, and the quirk that took over my brain (it does it a lot actually) was lighting. I can't go into a home improvement store or furniture store and not go in search for the lighting section. I am like a kid in a candy store that loves almost everything she sees. I spend a long time just looking up fascinated by the different shapes and designs within a small area. So now getting on to some of the newest lights I have stumbled over and fell in love with.
Here is an awesome chandelier that I found from Salgado Saucier. I can just picture this over a well worn dining table. The walnut and blackened steel really emphasize the down home feel that I personally love. I am also intrigued by the seeded glass that distorts the light just a smidge.
Usually I tend to focus on an amazing shade first but since these green and yellow glazed porcelain lamps didn't have a shade I had to look at the base. Man I'm glad these weren't shown with a shade because the color is fantastic, the way it seems to seep into the next area is just fascinating to me.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be very use nice to have a bare bulb in your room I would suggest a simple neutral tan shade that would not detract from the base.
PS: I just want to say thank you to Remains Lighting for showing me a pair of amazing bases.
Holy crap these sconces are incredible! I personally love geodes and add that to my addiction to lighting I have found myself a winner. The stones can come as large as a foot and the light shines differently through all the many colors hidden in the geode. These bad boys were found at Tuell + Reynolds. Below is geode table lamp that they had had hidden... but I found it!
This chandelier from SCDS Ltd. and is made of formed mica. I don't know about you but I really want to go up and nudge it a little so I can hear the tinkle that it would make for the next few minutes. All of the pieces are hand done and equally amazing on their own. This would create a great focal point in a room with a slightly retro feel to it.
Can't you just hear the tinkle in your ears?
Sorry I just had to add on tinkling crystal chandelier from J. Robert Scott. This has tiny crystals that surround each ring. It reminds me of the craft project have have been putting off until I had more time. It's the same basic concept of this light but with tiny seashells instead of crystal.
Okay back on topic... the only thing that bothers me about this light is that the actual lights are above the crystal so they do not reflect as easily and bounce the light around the room.
I hope this shined a little light...
