Williams~Sonoma Home.
I have been obsessing over these for weeks.
I want to gaze into them to see the future of how I could pay for them, even on sale, which they are now. Two in college. I have my priorities. Don’t you just hate it when the left brain takes over!

I can picture both of these on my sofa table just like the photo. Pottery Barn.
You would not believe the lamps I have on my nightstands.
Laura Ashley Ginger Jars! Shhhh, don’t tell anyone!
I might update with wall sconces and nix the bedside table lamps all together.
The mirrored mosaic gives it a more updated look, don’t you think?
Black high gloss shades or leopard print? Ooooo.

I purchased this lovely for my kitchen but delivery is not until late Dec.
Ballard Designs
After years of democratic rule in my house where I made sure my choice of decor was comfortable and agreeable to the male majority, I made this executive decision. Why now? I have a gorgeous chandelier dripping with crystals hanging from the rafters in the garage. When I brought it in I heard comments from the male delegates of , “ugly, too girlie, in the kitchen… no way! Find another home for it… and the worst… sell it.” You get the idea. By being vetoed on this one item I have become a smart strategist. I waited until there were only two remaining votes left at home and of course, Mr. P.M.’s is mine by proxy! 😉
Have a radiant weekend!
I love those clear lamp bases! I have such a lust for anything heavy and glass (random paperweight collectors, raise your hands!)
I think the menfolk have had too much power! I am ready to make some changes too and I think they will happen when hubby is at work!
Love your taste, all the lighting is very nice eye candy!
Think I MUST get that tartan lamp – at least the shade
Love the 1st and 2nd especially. Have a great weekend!
Good for you!! I can’t wait to see pics when that chandelier is hung in your house! I just loved the tartan shade!
How seasonal and inviting is the plaid! I love love it!
Oh some day I will have a chandelier. I am not sure if I can make it work in a 1950’s ranch house though. Next time. Next time. I love yours.
I love tartan anything! how refreshing to see it used that way. I love arm lamps by the bed, makes reading so much better.
Funny, I had a similar experience with masculine vs. feminine taste but it was regarding dogs. The males of the house insisted on a big dog cuz it was more manly. Years later when we had a yorkie… everyone prefered to clean up after her rather than the 75 lb dalmation.
Love them all!! Especially the chandelier!! Yay for Miss Pink Martinis and Pearls!!
I too can picture all those lovelies in my *pretend* new home, LOL!
I did my son’s room makeover in navy tartan plaids and red tartan plaids and it’s one of my favorite rooms. I kept the theme to hunting, fishing, skiing so it wouldn’t be too busy. It makes a great guest room now.
Love all the lamp choices! So hard when you are out numbered!
Lighting is a great way to update things around the home! Love the chandelier and the tartan shade/base. Go Girl Power! Ha!
I want one of each! Xoxo-BLC
You have great taste! I really love the chandelier you got for the kitchen, beautiful! The glass lamps are pretty, and I also really like those star lamps. They would look great in my house in Maryland!
XOXO
