All the pretty lights…

Feels like I’ve been looking for alot of lighting lately.  Sounds like fun?  It is at first but then when you need to find multiple good options it can get a bit trying.   I did have some luck and came across some absolutely stunning ones though!  What do you think?!          

Fool’s Gold

Tom…you’ve done it again!  Tom Dixon that is.  With the realease of the new Bronze Copper Shade, we find ourselves on the path towards sophisticated glamor..without the glamorous prices!  A highly sculptural fixture with a dynamic aesthetic due to its reflective qualities makes this a truly unique pendant.  Additionally, the use of a varied finish on the [...]

Where there’s HOPE, there’s LIGHT.

Glam Lighting

I must admit that I’m a real big sucker for pretty and glam lighting fixtures.  I think it makes such a big difference when it comes to completing a room….especially in the Dining Room!  I like to compare it to putting on a piece of jewellery and how it can complete your outfit!  Lighting is often [...]
