More Lighting Love

by Lindsay Ballard on August 22, 2011 1,683 Comments

My fun and funky lighting obsession has continued.

Back in April, I fell in love with a table lamp at Forma Living.  Called the Edison lamp, it’s the perfect mix of understated and big statement all at the same time.  I love it when statement pieces aren’t over the top.

This exact same lamp is available at Anthropologie, but it’s $30 cheaper at Forma Living (where I got mine).  Even better is that my husband is obsessed with it.  I’ve never seen a man go ga-ga over a lamp like he did over this one.  We’re going to put it in our living room, but it’s currently hiding up high on a closet shelf.  Emma is in her “I-need-to-clear-every-table-with-a-single-sweep-of-my-arm” phase, and I just can’t risk her breaking it.  It’s so very cool.

There’s also a steal of a deal on lighting at Anthro that I wanted to point out.  Several of you lovely readers sent me the link to a smaller version of my most favorite light fixture ever, on a deep, deep discount at Anthropologie.  The square pendant and circle pendant styles are made by the same designer as my one true love, and are available for $35 a piece (marked down from $128 and $148, respectively!).

Just remember the scale on these smaller bad boys.  They are just about 11 inches (circle)/9 inches (square) wide and 12 inches tall, so they aren’t going to work over your dining table or in the center of a room.  They would, however, look great over your kitchen sink or in the corner of a room over a fun chair.
