Light up your Life

Twas on a mission for light fixtures today. If a pair of manolos is the sugar to your wardrobe, then a fabulous fixture is the fashion in your home . As great accessories complete the way you clothe your body, so they should in the place you call home. I am reminded of an episode of Bravo's Top Design this year where the designers selected a Swarovski fixture and were asked to design a room around it. Like a special piece of jewelry, a cool lamp can transform a room...
Antique brass metal shade - $35 from Lamps PlusMoooi Light Shade - $4598 - Y Lighting"Twiggy" pendant light - Y Lighting: $595


Raffia drum from Serena and Lily: $89. Great for a beach house!


"Delight" drumshade - $108 from Exclusively Home. This one's adorable. Wish I had a 5 year old daughter.

Designers Diamond & Baratta use this trick often..

Thanks for including our brass lamp shade in this post. And we couldn't agree more that a great lighting fixture can transform a room. But, perhaps we're biased!!

Here's a link to the antique brass lamp shades.

Come by and check out the LAMPS PLUS LightPost blog.

Thanks again for the mention!
