Remember my “New Years Prezzie-lution“? Well, since the beginning of the year, it’s been moving in fits and starts.
Here is a before shot of the space:
And I added the pelmet box after the above shot was taken:
So, I began with the console (post here) to set along the long, empty wall in the hallway (took 2 months and multiple back-order notices, but it’s here!):
Next, I replaced those awful builder’s grade fixtures with these pretties (post here):
And throughout, I have been busily hanging photos, mirrors and art — all with black frames:

So, things are finally coming together, and I only have two more purchases before the BIG REVEAL — lamps and rug! I am working on my lamps now. I was originally going to go with something like these:
The green would pick up the colors in my stairway runner and my pelmet box in the dormer window. But now, I am thinking that I want to move away from the colorful and more towards the vintage/eclectic! These are my two favorites at the moment:
{Vintage Artichoke Table Lamp, Shades of Light, $175}
I would pair this one with a black shade:
{Liger Lamp, Urban Outfitters, $48}
Although the price is right on the Liger Lamp, and LBH it’s so damn adorable, I think it may be a little too small for the space. The artichoke lamps would be more to scale, so I am leaning towards those.
What do you think??? Stay tuned!
I love the vintage artichoke – very cool! The green lamp is cute too. Can’t wait to see the reveal! Love ya, spark!
Aww, but I love the Liger!
I really like the green and artichoke one! Your hallway is looking good!
