When Brenda at Cozy Little House wrote recently under the title of "Shades of Me", I was happy to learn that someone ELSE isn't fond of overhead lighting. Lamps FILL our living room. Of the seven here, five are in this one room!
A couple of the lamps were bought at a proper furniture store
with money received as Christmas gifts from piano students...
The rest are either thrift store or garage sale finds.
Hi Rebecca....I have the EXACT pink fringed lamp shade. It's sitting on a round tired table in my living room. Bought it several years ago in Arizona at a Cracker Barrel giftshop. It traveled cross country with us when we moved to the east and here is sits. I think lighting is VERY important in a room. Like all your lamps.Susan
I too much prefer lamps to overhead lighting. We do have a ceiling fan/light in our family room but we installed a dimmer switch so we could control the brightness. I have a matching set of thrifted Americana shades I will find lamps for some day! Love that blue & white lamp in front of your mirror!
wow those are gorgeous~ I love lamps as well and prefer them to overhead lighting also ~You have some wonderful lamps ~Love Heather
ReplyDeleteI love lamps, too...overhead lighting is way too harsh!! :)
ReplyDeleteI do love a lamp or three, they set a nice cosy tone to a room, much better than a harsh overhead light. xxx

ReplyDeleteHi my dear-a very lovely selection of lamps, all so unique and different-great finds indeed!! xx
ReplyDeleteI don't like overhead lighting either - I much prefer the ambiance that lamps give. Yours are lovely!
ReplyDeleteBright ideas! I just did a post on some lamps I made. Perhaps you can lend me a shade? Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI don't like overhead lighting either. How funny that you have many chairs and lamps just like I do! We could shop together, well maybe not! haha
