I came back from sunny L.A. on Monday, loaded with fabric samples from Room & Board and still sore from 2 days at Disneyland. Whew! The "Organizer" has been here this week and she and I have pretty much cleaned, cleared and cast out all sorts of things.
So, this morning, I was perusing lighting for the dining room. First, I had to stop at Velocity and check out the Thomas Paul lighting (one day - a post all about how I.heart.him).
Yet, still drawn to the George Nelson Criss Cross Saucer lamp (darn House and all the mid-century modern furniture on their sets). The regular Saucer lamp comes as big as 52" in diameter, but with a $1200 sticker!
So, decided to hop over to Etsy, to see what was available. Hopefully find some cheaper price points, as buying furniture will eat up a ton of our budget (if I knew what that was, perhaps we should set one). Found quite a few awesome lighting sites: Re-Surface, KAM Lamp Company, but loved Drawflowers shop.
Handmade in Florence, Italy, using original 70’s wallpaper. Not only does she make pendant lamps, but wallets, lunch bags and totes. Shipping is $55, so keep that in mind. Even with shipping, these are over $200 less than some of the other options. Her biggest size is 22" in diameter, which might work (top picture). Our dining table is narrower, since it is from 1954. If in doubt, always go a little bigger, than smaller. Here are more guidelines for sizing, and pictures from her shop below.
