You can tell it's a good toy when you can't stop playing with it!

I am loving this midcentury design of Amazing Miniatures' shelving unit. Go to the post below to see her blog and etsy address.
I will be playing with it and adding pictures throughout the day. C

Repurposed nail polish bottle and electricians tape

for mid century lamp.

When I was in about 6th grade my Mother's best friend was an Interior Decorator. They would redo our house once a year adding the latest style element. I think they reached their pinnicle of success with the "Hanging Lamp". My Mother had a gold one with a swag chain in the livingroom and one with a blue and green patina in her bedroom.

 I thought we were very elegant with a large blue glass bowl on our coffee table. I will admit that the furniture I inherited from that time is perfect now. It is upholstered in blue and olive green damask patterned material. But, please tell me swag lamps are NOT about to make a reappearance in fashion. Some how they make me shudder.
