Lighting Love...

As the snow begins to fall today, I'm kicking back, doing a little online browsing. I'm hoping to make a few changes/updates in my home this year and lighting is definitely one of them! Here's a round-up of some of the interesting finds I'm inspired by...

Maya Cristallo Single Pendant, $490 from CX Design.


I'm very much obsessed with this site...they are the best source for Italian Murano glass lighting and they are here in NYC. Drool!

Vintage Pattison Pendant by Thomas O'Brien for Circa Lighting, $1260.

Shown here in the hand-rubbed antique brass, I'd choose the antique nickel, but either way a set of three of these, hanging above a kitchen island would just be amazing...expensive, but ah-mazing!

Burnished Surveyor Floor Lamp, Williams Sonoma Home, $695.




We are badly in need of a new floor lamp and I've always wanted a tri-pod style lamp so I may have to order this one. Its sleek and sophisticated - love it.

Bandon Large Arts and Crafts Lantern Wall Bracket, $259, Rejuvenation

The outside of our home could use a little TLC too...I kind of like the industrial look of this lantern from one of my favorite lighting sources, Rejuvenation.

Spotted: Wine Bottle Light Fixtures

On Saturday night I went to Onda in NYC, a delicious Latin restaurant down near the South Street Seaport. Delicious food, amazing red sangria (nutmeg & cinnamon gave it a nice kick) and a cozy atmosphere.

Of course, my eye wandered up to the colorful wine bottle light fixtures grouped on the ceiling. I loved them and had to do a little research to show you what I was talking about since I didn't take a photo.

These wine bottle tea lights are so close to what they had hanging in the restaurant. The restaurant was dimly lit, so you can see how the colored bottles really popped. I could see these hanging from a porch or patio for a summertime bash...



Then, above the bar they had these clever wine glass light fixtures, loved those too. I found a similar idea at Pottery Barn. If I owned a restaurant, I'd pick up a few of these babies for sure.

In my search I also came across the Chandelini.

How funky is this fixture made from champagne glasses...awesome. A little research led me to Touch Design Studio, who originally created this idea for the 2004 holiday windows at DKNY in New York.So creative.

Love the idea of repurposing wine bottles and glasses in unique, fun ways. I already save my wine bottle corks in hopes of creating something fabulous with them one day and now, I just might start saving a few bottles too.
