Shiny Lighting
My latest addition to my design wish list? A brass lamp with a shiny brass shade. Of course the ultimate, at least to me, would be to own one by Maison Charles. While I'm waiting for that fantasy to be fulfilled, I might just purchase one from Gracious Home (seen below). I've been on a brass kick lately, but if you prefer a cooler metal, there are plenty of striking chrome lamps out there. And if the thought of all of this metal seems a little cold, just look at how well this type of lamp works in Kate Spade's apartment.

oh, Peak, I would not consider the Gracious Home lamp a compromise - it's fab! As is Kate's apartment. I have gone over and over that layout. It's so chic. She's a KC girl, you know. :)
ReplyDeleteKC- No surprise- you KC people are a stylish bunch!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic finds...I agree with KC, that Gracious Home lamp is stunning. But I have to say I'm also liking the Pomme de pin lamp as well!

As usual, you have such a great eye Jennifer. The shiny metal shades do add so much flair. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are striking.
ReplyDeleteThe Nickel Drum Shade lantern is my favorite.very nice!
ReplyDeleteDo the shades get hot and heat up the room? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteJordan- I think that one is particularly glam!
ReplyDeleteMamacita- You know, I never thought about that. Makes me curious, though.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, these are so fab! I have the same photo of Kate Spade's apartment and I LOVE the lamp, so sophisticated!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! Another way to add sparkle to a room. I can't seem to pick a favorite. I like them all. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love them all, espeically the drum shade latern and the Parzinger one. Funnily enough I've had my eye on a lamp exaclty like the one from Gracious Home, and had decided I would go buy it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuzy- I bet it will look great. Let me know how you like yours.
ReplyDeleteI like the nickel drum shade lantern. I think it would add a lot of reflection and drama to a dining area or entry hall. Good post on these wonderful lamps.
ReplyDeleteI bought the brass table lamp over the weekend, and I just love it. I'ts much taller than I remembered, and the drum is quite big, so it needs a deep table to sit on - but its fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuzy- I'm so happy for you! I bet it looks great!!!
