Have to admit that I LOVE tumblr. LOVE LOVE LOVE. What it’s not 1890 anymore? Who knew about this thing called the internet…
NO words here on this “microblog” (that word creeps me out) just pictures that slap me in the face and say ARCHIVE ME.
Check out The Brick House on Tumblr if you dare. RSS subscribe also if you dare.
Not like I really need any more lamps, but I picked up a few more.
I found this vintage 60’s pair of Asian-y regency underpainted glass cinnamon colored lamps. I don’t know how I feel bout them now that they are in the house. At seven dollars it seemed like a deal since I LOVED the color of the painted glass, but I still hate the weird base. You know, I just liked that they were a pair and that the color was so luxe. They do sort of blend with my teak headboard.
I put some linen drum shades (still wrapped in cellophane so I can return them) on the lamps to see how they look but I think these need taller black shades and the pair should sit on a long console against a white or pale gray wall…ugh. I can TOTALLY imagine them in a room. Just not this room.
I think I may copy the guest bedroom and do a pair of pendants and paint the wall dark. BTW, I’m loving the dark wall in guest bedroom.
Then I bought another lamp that I wish was part of a pair.
It’s 70’s, it’s brass, and it’s got a Plexiglas lamp shade with brass details.
I splurged a bit at $30 but I think it’s super modernist glam and brassy sexy. Love it! I have no idea where it will go.
I picked up a few other thrifty things this weekend besides my Josef Albers lithograph. Including these three pieces of studio pottery above. I will own every sloppily made piece of amateur pottery I find!
I picked these four little containers for a $1. Shame, shame – I know my ignorance is showing, but what is going on above the words?
I also grabbed this creepy pair of salt and pepper cats. The salt/pepper comes out of their eyes and they have no limbs and rope tails – yikes. They also have a sticker that says ANVA.
Another quartz cluster…I’m repeating myself, but I love crazy minerals.
Vignetting for scale…whatever, I thought they where fun together. There’s no point to this picture.
And then I got some lamps…but you’ll have to wait ’cause I’m a lazy hoe.
