You had me at hello...





I spied this delicious and juicy little number while flipping through Elle Decor this month.  It is an amazing fixture - the "Opera" chandelier from Bourgeois Boheme and is inspired by the Palais Royal Metro Station in Paris, pictured below







I'm loving that these look like delicious glass candies.  But what I love even more is the color scheme of the piece. Let the inspiration begin.

Warm Industrial


People often ask us "What's YOUR favorite type of design?", Heather and I, of course, describe two totally different things. Me, I love a "warm industrial" look - Edison bulbs & metal furniture pieces interspersed with thick luxurious fabrics and animal print rugs.


Imagine how excited I was when we met with one of our fabulous lighting reps and she showed us the work of a lighting designer that uses a combination of crystal and pipe:




Michael has an interesting story - he worked as in-house counsel for various television and distribution companies. He also has degrees from Vassar and Oxford and also writes book reviews for the New York Times




You've got to check out his website, as well as his Facebook page to see more of these amazing creations. There's nothing else out there that looks like this right now





According to the website, Michael McHale Designs sets out to redefine the look of the traditional chandelier. I think he's accomplished that, and more - don't you?

Day 2 of our favorite things is....(drumroll puhlease)......

LIGHTING




While not all of these fixtures were introduced in 2008, these are some of what we're loving this year.




West Elm makes this great fixture. I would like to see it used as a bedside sconce. It's such a great option, at a great price and it's pretty unique as a choice from a retail store.







I know that we've gushed over Shine Home numerous times, but you really can't beat their table lamps. They're funky and somewhat offbeat and can add that much-needed pop of color.












And their chandeliers ain't half bad either.....







For the glam look that is so hot this year, you can't go wrong with shiny chrome fixtures. One of our favorite lighting manufacturers is Robert Abbey Lighting.



It's really difficult to only pick a few of their light fixtures, there are so many great ones.








The Porter nickel pendant light



Look at this funky sconce and the great pattern it throws on the wall. Brilliant!




The anemone ceiling fixture, can also be used as a sconce.







This is my absolute favorite, though I am partial to filament light bulbs. It's so simple and industrial, but could really make a statement in the right space. Like over my kitchen nook table. Hmm.....


The fixture is made by Roost - an incredible accessory and lighting company. We'll write more on them in the future.



While that is only a smattering of the lighting that we're adoring this year, we could be here forever showing you pictures of gorgeous fixtures. So we leave you with another holiday picture of Vegas and the most famous light fixture in town.


We're so proud of our Vegas snow today!
