quality buffet lamps
Comments (2)Thanks johnwc. I've been on lexfurniture's website recently and never even noticed that lamp mfr. The choices look great!...See MoreOpinion poll: Paint new lamps?
Comments (8)I have spraypainted a thing or two in my day, and have found the selection of spraypaint colors and finishes at craft stores like Michaels to be much better than what you can find at the hardware stores, particularly with metal finishes. I would look there, find a few that may work, and then test them out first before you decide to paint your lamps....See MoreLamps for the Buffet
Comments (104)Oh my. I can't believe there are so many responses to this thread. Yes, that is the parrot lamp that squirrel PS'ed in. I like it, but it's not my money or my house. I'm glad you are thinking of going to the consignment store funky recommended. Make sure to bring along any pics/swatches, digital camera and a tape measure as you'll never know what you'll find....See MoreBought lamp from antique place for buffet?
Comments (36)I'm happy to announce the mirror is ON THE WALL!! 6" from buffet. Yay! I'll have to post pictures tomorrow. I'd also like to say I'm sorry for not listening sooner about hanging the mirror first. 30" I think is way too tall. If put in the middle it fights with the hangy thing. I'm thinking the lamp will need to be in the lower 20" range. I have pictures of this as well. Maybe now that I have a better idea of height it won't be as difficult. Val - I do see the similarities between the inspiration pic and my foyer. Good job Jim!! Reno - I hear ya about picking something less formal to pair with formal but since I'm drawn to the frou/frill I have a hard time (obviously) picturing what would look good. Paint Chips - I like the size and style of that lamp. I do like palm trees but personally am not feeling them for in the foyer. My computer is starting to act weird but I'll def. check them out more tomorrow. Picking a lamp is one thing but then what else do I put on it!? Oh my.. I do have two pretty candle holders (different heights but matching) that I don't have a home for. They twist up to the top and have feet things on the bottom (remember I like things with little feet) but they're dark brown....See MoreCindy Warren Fialka
