needing. wanting. loving. {geometric lamps}

Recently I told you guys how important fabulous lamps are to a room. I couldn't stop with my obsession for finding a perfect pair for my new NYC apartment...I haven't exactly moved in yet but I am already putting together mood boards + shopping lists of what I am daydreaming of. These gorgeous Geometric lamps are just my speed and I am dying for a pair. It's between the pink or the gray, or maybe the green. I love them all its so hard to decide. 

office space of the day...fabulously black and brass

black walls + gold accents + gorgeous lucite desk + faded blue rug + brown leather chairs =
domestic bliss

So, I don't think I could ever get enough of dark black walls. Every single time I see a black room, I am stunned by the beauty of it. Is it odd that I mostly have black in my closet too? I love black...its classic, simple, elegant, edgy, and it goes with everything! 

secret of domestic bliss #44...big, bold and beautiful lamps

I always say that lamps are to a room like earrings are to an outfit... they are an essential part of the decor.  Most of us who have great overhead lighting forget that lamps are so much more than a fabulous source of light, they are a key figure in decorating. Big, bold and beautiful lamps can do so much for a room. A stand alone beauty can make a huge statement all by itself and give a room that extra pop of color that it needs. On the other hand, when you add a pair of lamps, your room is instantly more sophisticated and polished. You can find just the right pair to tailor your room and make it complete. If you find a pair you love, just grab them. You never can have too many lamps.

Wallcolor Wednesday...beautiful, bold and black

You can do so many magical things with black. I am extremely fond of the combination of black and brass...its completely glamorous. However, greens and blues also look so very rich and decadent against black. Anything from nature like botanicals or pretty pink flowers will pop against an all black backdrop. This old spread from Domino (via moodboard showcases just how beautiful black walls can be. 

bliss in the kitch' ...breathtaking breakfast nooks

How adorable are these beautiful breakfast nooks? Sunday mornings are the perfect opportunity to luxuriate and actually get use out of lounging in the breakfast nook. The tantalizing scent of freshly made coffee and beautiful bright sunlight seals the deal on my breakfast nook bliss.

Nobody likes "white done right" more than this girl. This beautiful bright kitchen is simplistically genius.
I long for a kitchen with this much natural lighting.
How adorable are the feminine and graceful white barstools...so chic, no?
The mixture of lighting is so graceful and I am always a sucker for a ladder in a kitchen.
Finished off with an adorable birdcage, I have a huge crush on this whimsical space. love.

the Art of Living....dining with gorgeous lighting

Today, I am more than grateful for everything in my life.
Lately I have been reminded just how short life is, and I don't want to ever miss out on that joy!
I am also praying for our country and the oil spill, its astounding what is going on.
So I just want to take a moment to thank God for every blessing, 
especially you lovely readers who make my days so bright! 
What would I do without you????

Speaking of bright...
I am spending today on the hunt for some amazing dining room lighting and I am needing inspiration.
Modern, bright, unique and over-sized light fixtures are all up in my mood.
I can spend hours gazing at the wonders of vintage light fixtures.
This place has great sources...I can barely pry myself away from the site.
 
 
 
 
 
I,of course, think Ron + Jaime always knock it out of the park!
