Lavish Lighting

Unusual light fixtures is one of those luxuries that completely MAKES a room. I have a serious lighting wishlist for my own house. Only 2 of which have been fulfilled since we moved in. The closet and the guest bedroom. Next up, kitchen island and bedroom.
Here are some spaces that are everything because of their lighting
This would be so boring without those bubbles, don’t you think?

Sort of looks like this fixture, but adorned with vines and flowers. So romantical.

Seen this before and I LOVE it. A softer more feminine sputnik.

My fantasy light fixture. Seriously. Insanity.
Don’t even know what to say. Its just good.
 Do you have a light fixture that is #1 on your wish list? Am I insane for writing this passionately about lighting? (don’t answer that one)

green with envy








another great example of christina murphy’s beautiful, colorful work. love this retro beach cottage that was featured in house beautiful this month. i am not a huge fan of homes having a “theme” (green). but i think this is a pretty cute house. the entire concept was done around the painted lily pad floor in the living room. its a refreshing change from beach houses done in accents of blue.

i especially LOVE that painting above the mantle.
