The Estate of Things

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

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.

To continue the lighting rant I have been on…

My wonderful mother sent me this link to a pair of lamps for sale on Etsy. She sent it to me because I am on a hunt (posted about here) for bedside lamps.  These are in great shape, plus the seller Fabulous Mess has a ton of other cool things.

I encountered these designs during my search for bedside lamps and maybe I’m a little over excited about this but then again have you taken a look at the glorious offerings of Stray Dog Designs? Check out their site for furniture, accessories and their complete lighting collection.
