Lamp love


I LOVE, lamps...oil lamps, electrified lamps, any kind of lamp ;-)



These green lamps with the chrystal drops are wonderful..



I have a pair of them...


Here's an old oil lamp that sits on our bedroom mantel


Our guest bedroom lamp...



Mr. Vintage's lamp, very manly ~



I call this one my fairy lamp

But my ABSOLUTE favourite lamp is this one.....



Have a very enlightening Sunday :-)

(((Hugs)))

    Your lamps are gorgeous! My favorite is the same as yours but they are all wonderful. There's nothing like the light of an old lamp.

    Marianne,
    You have some gorgeous lamps! I adore them, I really do, especially the manly one with the antlers. That is a lamp my hubby would approve of.

    I do SO love lamps!!! The shades and the shapes and the different casts of the glow, depending on the draping or the angles or the wattage of the bulb.

    I HAVE discovered, however, that the dainty drapings, pale hues to lend just that romantic glow to a corner or a table---when you have a three-year-old in and out of the house, you're apt to discover your lovely silken coverings wrapped around a doll, a dragon, or being towed like a potentate's robes behind a slightly-irritated dog.

    I've just had a hankering this morning to see again a wonderful little piece on making Victorian lampshades---A&E I think, had a wonderful Sunday-morning program of House Beautiful on lovely homes and crafts---I most remember Jessica McClintock's absolutely most-romantic home I'd ever seen (and the most elaborately-carved bathtub, all roses and nymphs).

    But a company in California made custom lampshades---lots of which were 1890's bordello, but they were just GORGEOUS. I remember she said they'd made SIXTY of them for Melanie and Antonio's house. Wish I could find that video on You tube or anywhere again.

    (And wouldn't a yard sale at M&A's be stupendous?)

    Do I not ramble---just chiming in to add my echo to the I LOVE LAMPS discussion.

    Have a lovely weekend!!
