There are a few home decor objects that I could really become a professional hoarder with.
chairs,
throw pillows,
lamps.
I can't get enough of any of those things, and I always seem to find more that I just have to add to my collection (which lives in my tiny home). However, even though I found some thrift store lamps that I spray-painted orange and placed on either side of our bed, I always knew that I'd fin some better ones - those were just holding the future lamps' place. Well, yesterday I found those lamps (yay)! They're sort of Chinoserie-style, made maybe in the '50's or '60's, and I really love them.
They're a good bit taller than the lamps we used to have, too, which is great because those were really too low (Jordan was always bumping them, and it was annoying). I can't decide if I'm going to paint them or not. I sort of love the vintage paint job on them, but I'm not sure if I'm in love with the yellow...time will tell.
I do, however, adore the white details on the yellow base. The very bottoms with the little circus-tent shaping is the best!
(these photos were taken last night - sorry for the terrible lighting!)
the whole bedroom - can you tell I like symmetry?

I love them! What do you think -- should I paint them or no?
I like them as is! They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I say keep the original paint- love the character!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour AND the character. I think the soft yellow looks amazing with your wall colour. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy thought, live with them for a while before you make the decision. :)
ReplyDeletei have loved watching your bedroom slowly evolve! i think this is my favorite stage yet :-) i know things never stay the same for long (i'm the same way with my house)... but i say keep the lamps that soft yellow for now... i like how it compliments the warm colors from your bed~
ReplyDeletethank you guys! I'm definitely going to live with them for a bit for now, then possibly paint them later. i'm thinking i'm going to need them to be bolder though - i like too much color for a pastel bedroom! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'd leave them as they are, so charming and beautiful, flaws and all! Janell
ReplyDeleteThat's tough. I really loved the pop of orange that the others brought, but these bring a more elegant, vintage feel to the room. I'd leave them for a while. You know you're going to change them soon regardless . . . :-). Told you I don't miss your blog. PS - your pop of orange has influenced my master BR design plans!

Love the original!! If you find you want more pop you could do something funky/bright to the lampshade or change it to another shape color before you paint the base.
ReplyDeleteI like the soft yellow, but would love to see the orange from the bedskirts make 'em pop as well. You can't go wrong really. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't paint them. At least not yet. Love them. Good find.
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite thing about this room is the pop of orange on the bedskirt.. perfection!
ReplyDeleteThey look great as they are, living with the look is a good idea. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow looks really lovely with your wall color! I say keep it ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, and look great in your room...but Id have a hard time not painting them! Whatever you do will be perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove the height! Like, seriously perfect size.
ReplyDeleteI would keep the bases as is---I like the patina on them---and get new drum shades that go an inch or 2 further down the base of the lamp. Then if you want more color, think about trim! I think black shades would look pretty dang fantastic, but they don't give off tons of light.
Love them ~ I say keep the yellow :)
