Side Lamps Selection

Dear blogfriends,

Lamps are definitely what I prefer in design, besides art and chairs.

I've been thinking a lot about the lightings in our living room. I found lately this cute vintage lamp that was meant for the desk, but is actually on the piano.

So we still need a desk lamp and also a side lamp.

I've been looking on craigslist for a while. I wanted a mushroom lamp.

I was on this cutie on ebay, but a (very mean) person bid 4 sec before the end.

Since then, I haven't seen any that i liked.

So I looked for contemporary ones :

Like this replica of Verner Panton's flowerpot lamp :

Or this cutie...

I also like the iconic Scandinavian Milk Lamp :

I've been also tempted by other models (not mushroom models) like the Block lamp:

Or the iconic Bourgie lamp by Kartell. I think the chrome one would work better at home :

I don't know which one I prefer. Most of them are quite a budget, which makes the choice even more difficult. which one do you prefer?

For the desk, however, I found this very cute and budget friendly lamp (19,99 euros) at Ikea. what do you think?

Mushroom Lamps!

Hello!

Look at the pretty pretty lamp Jenny bought for her girls lately!

Mushroom lamps are such a design classic. I think it's a very easy and cheap way to add quirk, uniqueness and vintage style to a room.

I spotted some very pretty mushroom lamps in some of my favorite stylists/bloggers.

Emily Henderson loves them :

Also does Irene from Bloesem. She had two awesome specimens in her old house. The orange one is my fave among all!

Victoria just published this example last week from the Ikea book Beloved Homes.

And I discovered this blog today, looking for more examples. The author did a very nice Hollywood Regency's selection of mushroom lamps. I you'd like to check it here.

I am always happy to find new sources of inspiration.
