If you liked this breakfast nook from Domino and think you might like to translate this look in to your own home,

You’ll want to get started with the Eldridge pendant at Ballard Designs, $199

Anybody else think this would be perfection in a nursery or little girl’s room? I know what you’re gonna say, “I want that for my dining room”

the Norm 06, Scandinavian Design Center, small $59.11

My friend Frank from the AudioMuffin has a thing for Robot Music. I have a little something for Robot Lamps. I like that they have a persona. I feel like they would speak to me and say really helpful and kind things. Then I started seeing these big robot lamps around and I had to ask myself, “What WOULD it be like if machines took on free will?” I’d surely like to be around these sweet ass over-sized guys if that happens.

“Attack of the Killer Lamp!”  Apartment Therapy.
I don’t think he would hurt anyone.

lastly, the original ad that I saw that made me smile.

Alia from Sweetshorn Vintage writes about her latest object of affection, the chandelier…

I bought a vintage red glass chandelier similar to this one at a thrift store last summer.

Due to the fact that I don’t have a boudoir-esque dressing room in my house it has been stashed in a guest room until we buy a place where it can be hung more permanently.  I’ve been shopping around to have it rewired and found it will cost $200.

That doesn’t seem like much if you have a $1000 piece but mine was only $40.  Plus, I found the chandelier pictured above for only $179 at Home Depot that is ready to hang.

So I have major chandelier envy. It seemed like a passing trend having been printed on everything from dish towels to wall decals, but I’ve always wanted one in my home.

This jade green beauty from Tavern on the Green being auctioned off this month now that the legendary NYC restaurant has closed its doors.  It is amazing!

This cloud chandelier by design house Fusion Z is so stunning I can’t imagine having a room worthy of its opulence.

My tacky side (about 94% of me) wants this disco ball by Front Design (found via Curbly).

This capiz shell lotus lamp by Graham and Green is so soft it would be amazing in my bedroom.

and what is Sarah’s pick for a game changing chandelier…the arctic pear available at Ochre.

The Martha Stewart French Task Swing Arm Sconce is on sale at Macy’s right now, $99.50…

I just thought you might like to know, I mean I got a little excited.

 If you’re in the market for some lighting right now, I’d peruse Macy’s selection.

I need you to go take a look at the plethora of lamp awesomeness that is on Ebay. I always loved the Parker lamp collection by Jonathan Adler, the ones with the brass geometric designs.

Auctions end on Monday. See ALL OF THEM HERE!

Is this kick ass for an entryway or what? Dining room, powder room-instant upgrade. Its on sale at Shades of Light for $199.

Remember my post about my undying love for a blue glass lamp? Well I found one in a surprising place and it wasn’t a million dollars.

Enter the Eva Colored Glass Table Lamp from….Pottery Barn. Who woulda’ thought?  $99 and shes just the right size for my old round oak table. 

Let’s observe the string light pendant in a Finnish habitat, previously posted about here.

Could be some type of resin or acrylic material but you can’t say that doesn’t scream DIY string pendant..or maybe you can, but please don’t because I’m loving the thought of it.

Finland walk-up for sale, NY Times article here.

Oh why must you be $3,000?
