Now I see the light

Old statuary with 1926 wedding veil as shade - purchased this week started it all


Our guest bedroom receives  reflected light from the palm tree which sways and dances in the gentle breeze. Also reflected are the daimond shaped sparkles from the salt water canal - the wall literally dances on a sunny day.  The room has tall ceilings and there is a balcony. 

We painted the room in Skylight (Farrow & Ball).  I am now shopping in my own house for pieces to fit in this room.

The lamp I love (my husband has reserved his opinion) The existing wrought iron bed I found at a farm auction many years ago.  The tapestry (not yet sewn to the pillow) was found in Venice, Italy.  The little cottage  I painted in encaustic and is part of my Irish cottages series.  I need a  lamp for the left hand side of the bed
Not sure about this

Time to look around my house some more

I would like to take this Waterford crystal lamp from my living room, however, it is part of a pair.

This rooster lamp was created by artist Ziva twenty years ago.

Still shopping in my house and there is much to be decided upon for this room.  Any suggestions?

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   Do you agree?

  1. I love your little Irish cottage! Your room is coming together nicely. I sometimes dream about arranging things in my house. It can be like putting together a puzzle!
