For some people it seems so easy, but I think lamps are hard. I have looked and looked and even bought three lamps to only take them back. They just didn't work. I finally found one that I love.
I love the mosaic marble base and the colors are so pretty.
There wasn't anything wrong with the brass one I have been using, I just wanted a change.
P.S. Thanks for all the input regarding adding trim to my lampshades. I opted not to since this lamp has a brass band around the bottom. It just looked like a lot of bands all of a sudden. I have ordered two new lamps to replace the white ones by the sofa, so we'll see if I change my mind and add the trim afterall.

Love, love, LOVE this lamp! The base is beautiful and fresh! Much improved over the brass. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh Marty this was a great find. I love the marble tiles and the colors. Soft and pretty. Perfect for your room. Woooo Hoooo so happy you found one you like. I agree Lamps are hard to find just the right one. You found a winner! So pretty.

I love the marble base too! The brass one was nice but this adds a nice twist to your living room. I'm in the process of shuffling some lamps too right now!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Lamps are hard, you're right! This one is perfect and I love the sparkle from the brass trim!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Just perfect for the spot :o)

Very pretty lamp! My thing is lampshades - hard to find good ones, even harder to find them not crazy expensive!
ReplyDeleteI thinks it's a perfect update! I agree, I'm very picky about lamps and it can take forever to find a great one!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect choice! I've noticed you've been adding a little more contemporary feel to your look. I bet you can't wait for those wood floors to go down! We had a section of our house done in the 90's and they brought the wood in to "acclimate" for several days before installing it (it was later winter though- no 100+ temps!). I would love to do our whole place in wood- just can't muster up that much money yet!
ReplyDeleteYour new lamp is beautiful. My curtain rod finals have that same finish!
ReplyDeleteI'm biased towards loving it Marty since I have 2 similar ones that I adore! Enjoy it and have a great weekend dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. I love the way the mosaic tiles pick up the brown tones of the table and chair. I also love the white dog statue and everything else on the table. Really a nice vignette.
ReplyDeleteMarty, the new lamp is Perfect!

Very pretty lamp Marty...love the whole vignette!!
ReplyDeleteMarty I am on the hunt for new lamps for the Master Bedroom. I love your lamp, the mosaic is just the right color. Your decorating style is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI like the lamp. If there's a few inches vacant on a table I find a lamp to fit!
ReplyDeleteThat is a BEEEEutiful lamp, Marty! I love it and it looks very pretty where you have it!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! Your lamp looks very pretty! I love to change out my lamps also! I have a thing for beautiful lamps and pillows! Take care!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lamp, Marty. I love a pretty lamp and have a thing for them.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, getting the "lamp you love" can be difficult. You've definitely found a beauty though. I also like how you've accessorized the space below it. Your pics with the brown leather chair, throw and pillow beside the table with the new lamp look magazine-worthy!

Count me as another one who thinks finding the right lamp is hard. I have been looking and looking for my living room, but nothing jazzes me. I love what you found. It's so unique!
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect. I love your new lamp and when I saw it, I thought...that's so Marty!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Marty! A different look to from the brass one. My problem is I see too many lamps that I DO like, which makes decision making a bit challenging for me!
ReplyDeleteChange is good, Marty. You always make wonderful choices...
ReplyDeleteOh! I think it's very Chic!

LOVE the colors in your new lamp, and the shade goes perfectly with it! Yeah, I have a thing for switching out shades on my favorite lamps.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty lamp Marty! Thanks for sharing it!
