I'm always pleased when a piece you think isn't going to work magically does. I purchased a mirror for my dining room a few months ago from the Company Store because it was about $39 and had the Moroccan feel that I was looking to bring into the space. When it arrive I felt pretty ehhh about it. The color wasn't what I expected. It was much more beige than I expected and looked not so hot with the white doors of my buffet. As I mentioned here, I considered painting it another color but hadn't yet gotten around to it.
Enter the most fabulous lamp shades ever from Anthropologie. I scored two new lamp shades for an excellent price. When they arrived I rested the mirror next to them and magically it all works. The color of shades is so close to the mirror you would think I planned it to work out that way. Now I love the mirror *almost* as much as I love my new lamp shades. All I have to do now is actually get the mirror hung on the wall.
Update: For the inquiring minds who want to know, the lamp bases are from Urban Outfitters. The lamp shades don't actually fit that type of lamp because it does not have a harp so I ordered these handy lamp shade adapters that allow you to clip the shade right onto the bulb.
Awesome. Great color palette.
ReplyDeleteThose shades are gorgeous. Totally digging the pattern. I need to stop by your place one day and just bask in the perfection of it all. (And dream my place looked that good)
ReplyDeletesarah, don't be fooled. i'm a very strategic photographer.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern on the shades, it definitely makes the mirror work.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture! Especially since you can see Milo's little face in the mirror! =)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThose shades are amazing; I couldn't keep my eyes off of them to read your words :) Of course, Anthro, should have known. Great job on the luck of the shades to bring the room together :)
ReplyDeleteWhere are the lamp bases from? They are really cool too.
