Kitchen Eat-In Reveal
Today I’d like to show you the eat-in space of our kitchen. To make it more dramatic, let’s see what it used to look like first. As some of you may recall, this was the light that was there when we moved in:
Changing it was one of the first things I wanted to do but [...]
Ultimate Wish List Item: Serge Mouille Lighting
I think most people keep wish lists for their homes. I do too but I also have another list that I call the Ultimate Wish List. The difference is that my wish list is for things I currently want whereas my ultimate list is for things that I know I want at some point that [...]
Bye Bye Boob Light & a Sneak Peek of the Office
I bought this Tord Boontje Midsummer Light a million years ago but never installed it anywhere. When we moved into this house, I knew that my office would be the perfect place for it because this is the light fixture that was in there:
Tommy, the sidekick on Sarah’s House, calls these “boob lights” and [...]
Copper Pendants and My Devotion to Arne Jacobsen
You know how everyone is loving brass lately? Well, I am too but I’ve also been really attracted to Tom Dixon’s copper pendant for a while.
Over the weekend, I was perusing my files for rooms with copper lighting and I noticed something really interesting . . .
All the rooms also had Arne Jacobsen chairs in [...]
Bathroom Sconces and a Few New Pretties in the Kitchen
I finally decided on the wall sconces for the master bath. They’re part of the Lugarno series from Restoration Hardware. We have two vanities in there so that means four scones so I wanted something really simple because I think four of anything can get to be too much. Our bathroom kind of looks [...]
Lookie What I Found
So I thought I had made up my mind to get the warehouse pendants for over the island in the kitchen. But for some reason, I kept putting off ordering them and when I went out shopping yesterday and saw these vintage lights, I knew they were it!
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’ve [...]
Starburst Chandeliers
Hi, everyone! I’m back from my whirlwind trip to Seoul – jetlagged but very inspired and ready to resume decorating the new house. One thing I really, really need to do is to get some lights. I swear one of these days I’m going to talk about something else. But not today!
It all started with [...]
Orange Crush: Orange Jieldé Lamps
Welcome to this month’s edition of Orange Crush brought to you by From the Right Bank and Down and Out Chic. Today, I thought I’d combine my love of orange with my love of Jieldé Lamps. I love these classic lights for their amazing quality and industrial good looks.
They come in an array of great [...]
Bare Beauties (Light Bulbs, That Is)
I think I have looked at a thousand light fixtures of every possible style in the past month and I began noticing (and loving) bare light bulbs more and more.
I think they really work well in large clusters:
Daniella wrote about this recently and included this beautiful photo:
and we had both seen this gorgeousness that nkp [...]
Candidates for Kitchen Pendants
I want to replace the two pendant lights over the kitchen island as part of my lighting overhaul and I think I’ve narrowed down the choices to two styles.
First is something classic but industrial like these:
The second option (and on the complete other side of the spectrum of course), something frilly and fancy like these:
and [...]
Lighting Overload
My mom and I went to look at lighting today and came home with nothing.
I need/want to replace:
the wall sconces in the kitchen, hallway, master bathroom, and over the family room fireplace;
the pendant lights in the kitchen;
the chandelier in the master bath and the eat-in area of the kitchen; and
the ceiling lights in the guest [...]
Pretty Lights
So I’m looking around for a light fixture to replace my Murano. (I swear I’m over it, not that you’d know it by the way I’ve been going on about it.) However, it did occur to me that I never showed you the what it looked like after it fell:
Imagine a thousand more glass pieces [...]
Black Chandeliers
My love for chandeliers is not a big secret, nor is my penchant for black. So it’s only logical that I’m madly in love with these beauties:
And to me, the mother of all black chandeliers is this one at Maison de Baccarat which I wrote about before:
Off the topic but if you go to Paris [...]
Mini Twiggy?
Is that a mini Twiggy I see? I got all excited when I saw this but then I did a little research. It is a small version of my coveted floor lamp but unfortunately it doesn’t come at a mini price. At close to $700, it makes the floor lamp at $2000 seem not so [...]
Twiggy (The Lamp, Not The Model)
Apparently it’s lamp day here at From the Right Bank. I first saw the Twiggy Floor Lamp a few months ago and instantly fell in love. But I moved along because I need another lamp like I need another pair of shoes which, if you haven’t seen my closet, is to say not at all. [...]
Does Anyone Know Who Makes This Lamp?
Because I want it, I want it, I want it!
