LIGHTS, Camera, Action!

As you saw yesterday, there has been quite a bit of action around here lately.  YAY!  In order to get our house photo shoot ready, there were a few things I wanted to do to help stage our space.  I bought a couple of things & DIY'd the rest.  There is something I've been wanting to do with Japanese paper tape for months that I finally got around to!  Can't wait to show you - it is genius.

I've recommended stacked glass ball lamps to more than one client, and finally decided that I needed one as well.  After lugging home similar beasts from Pier 1 and realizing they were too big, I settled on this lamp from Pottery Barn.  I paired it with a ribbon trimmed drum shade from PB Teen - love!

One mini vent about these types of lamp bases - the shades are NEVER even.  Always tipping to one side or the other.  I fixed it by putting a nickel underneath one part of the screw-on finial, but it really is a pain.

I am so glad we updated from our trusty IKEA lamp.  While it isn't the cheapest option out there, it is something that I've wanted for a long time and decided to invest in.  These lamps are timeless & gorgeous and I know we will have them for a long time!
