Vintage Lamps Make For a Lovely Home
Vintage Delight group owner Deemurph is loving vintage lamps lately and has had some wonderful luck tracking some beauties down. Take a look at her finds:
My eye for old chairs kicked off my vintage obsession, but now my love for vintage lamps is on the rise! It's not just the great old shapes and materials — look at the ceramics!
Obama Buys $4,800 Recycled Chandelier For Daughters' White House Bedroom
In last night's episode of Man Shops Globe, Keith Johnson traveled to South Africa, where he was on the hunt for not-so-typical African crafts. After stumbling upon some unusual pottery and a handmade wooden dining chair straight out of a Van Gogh painting, he wandered into a magical art collective shop called Magpie , which sells knickknacks and décor made entirely from recycled objects. Be it a lid to a dog food can, a wine cork, or a Barbie, the eco-conscious craftsman turned the disposable into the extraordinary.
Ask Casa: Where Can I Find That Incredible Pendant?
In the comments on my recent Show Me Your Casa post, AJH asked, "Where can I find that incredible pink hanging pendant?" It's a good question! I've been in love with the light fixture ever since I first saw it as well.
Love It or Hate It? Firefly LED Light
Fireflies do glow, but not as brightly as this Firefly Carcass LED Light, which designer Harry Allen created from a 3D printing of a firefly that he caught in his yard. Cool? Or kind of macabre?
Desire/Acquire: Burlap Chandelier
Fresh off of my burlap bonanza roundup, which featured this Jayson Home & Garden Caravan Chandelier ($1,295), made of an iron frame covered with a burlap potato sack, I spotted a much more affordable version of the light fixture. It's certainly handsome and lends a rustic industrial aesthetic, but I wouldn't pay a penny over a grand for it — if that. Want to see where you can buy the exact same chandelier for less?
Found It! Light Fixtures From Eastwick
I wouldn't say that the witch-centric drama series Eastwick is on the top of my faves list of this year's Fall TV lineup, but I will give the show set designers props for boldly mixing three very different (and busy) light fixtures in this kitchen. Each of the chandeliers in this photo would be a show-stopper on its own, but combined they create a space that's more about being an eclectic than a specific theme, such as Moroccan or midcentury. Wondering where you can pick up any of these three light fixtures?
Do You Have a Ceiling Rose?
A ceiling rose is a round, ornamental decorative element affixed to the ceiling from which a chandelier or pendant is suspended. They're common in historical Victorian and Edwardian homes (especially in the UK), but they can easily be added to new homes. And so long as your home isn't super modern, they look elegant and relevant with many styles of design.

5 Drink-Inspired Light Fixtures
It's time to get your drink on. From 2 percent milk to sauvignon blanc, the bottles we've been hitting may have inspired a few too many chocolate-chip-cookie binges and late-night dance parties. But milk bottles and wine glasses are also the source of inspiration for a range of light fixtures for your home.
Do You Light Candles by Your Bedside?
Candles can be a calming addition to your nighttime routine. I know that lighting some delicately scented soy candles at night definitely gets me ready to settle in for some shuteye. Do you light candles to help you settle in for a good night's sleep, or, perhaps, set the mood for romance?Source
