Lamps & Libraries

Using what he had I created a small library, with desk of course, in the living room.


His sofa has the same shades of robin's egg blue as the lamps.



The lamps were thrifted.  A contractor for the Ritz tossed about 40 of these lamps at his personal driveway on garbage day.  A neighbor brought 1 in to the thrift store asking if they wanted all of them.  I bought 4.

Libraries, desks, lamps.  Comfort for the soul.

Still hunting a spot in my garden for a desk.

What?!!
Those lamp bases are beautiful!

I've been hunting for one like that for months...London, Paris, New York. And here's someone tossing them onto the pavement on junk day! Clearly, I live in the wrong neighbourhood.
Does he have any blue-and-white china urns too? A chesterfield sofa? Perhaps a vintage chaise?

We all love a rescue story. And nothing beats a matched pair of lamps. Especially classic ones like these. Happy reading!

Love how you take photos of corners. Those rugs you found the other day are stunning! x Maria
