*New Lamp(s)* New Console Table* still have time to return..(pic)
Comments (57)No wonder you are confused. My head was spinning after reading all of the opinions! I was following the original post, but this is my first look at your follow-up. I agree with the others about finding another shade for first lamp if you decide to use it. The present shade is too short and it is the wrong style. My suggestion would be to take the lamp into a lighting store that sells shades. There you will have some expert advice as well as the option to "try on" various shades, much in the same way that you would try on clothes to determine the most flattering fit and combination. Think of the gas you will save! These are some guidelines for shades that I have found useful: 1. Match the base  think size, shape, style, color. Your goal is to match the mood of the base. 2. Compliment the base  the shade should make the base look better without competing with for attention (like that patterned shade on the metal lamp) 3. Hide the switch  the shade should just barely cover the switch (usually the height of harp + ½ inch). Try different sized harps, or add a shade riser to fine-tune. 4. Sizing Rules of Thumb: (1) Shade height should be about ¾ the height of the base (2) Bottom of shade should be wider than widest part of the base. (3) Shade width should be approximately equal the height from bottom lamp base to the top of the lamp stem, (just below the socket cap) I like both lamps. I think either one will be beautiful, but I would not use both of them in that room. Rather than another ginger jar, it would be nice to use a different architectural form on the console. I like the console very much. I do not like the metal/glass (marble?) lamp with the patterned shade. I would look for gorgeous buffet lamps. I am thinking wooden with an antique gold finish (very simple, but elegant). These are high end lamps, but use as examples. If you want the console to appear more sophisticated, remove the dried flower wreath that is resting on the books below, and remove the wicker basket with the greens from the top of the console. Replace it with a grouping of three (the magic number) similar objects (candles, boxes, ceramics, etc.) of different height and proportion. Good luck and keep up the good work. I am amazed by your shopping energy and resourcefulness....See MoreNeed very small glass coffee table
Comments (6)I looked on Wayfair and you can select the shape, and the size, but the category for Small is under 40". This link will show you what they have in <40", but you have to scroll down and see 'weight and dimensions' on the right side to see if it's 36" or less. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/sb2/rectangle-small-glass-top-coffee-tables-c1867491-a3722~9650-a131720~441882.html Mine is also small and glass, but it's vintage and I got it from eBay in 2008. It's pictured just after it arrived, below. LOVE IT, still and always will! And, by golly, there is one on eBay now - HERE Or, they have three of them on 1stDibs, ranging from $995-$2600.

Comments (16)heidi, I only now see your post, Houzz sometimes works in some miraclous ways I guess. Or my own laptop, I don't know. Thank you for answering, that really helps. Actually I love the idea of books in the glass cabinet. I'm prejudiced-a) I love books, a lot b) I love glass cabinets)) As JudyG, I really love the table you thrifted as well. And I think the painting looks just right for the wall...it's not an empty wall, it will be related to these two chairs. I love Anthropoligie hardware a lot and use it a lot (and Antropologie in general), but as I look at the room I must say, yours look just right to me somehow. Corresponds with all the window hinges etc. Has integrity. I don't know how to put it. Looks like it belongs. Wouldn't switch it. Now, knowing the height you have over your fireplace would help with looking into mirrors..for now I also looked into wood framed ones, and tell me if I'm completely off the mark oh they won't let me save pics..okay https://www.artfulhome.com/product/Wood-Mirror/Burl-Vine-Painted-Mirror/146407 i like the frame being wood, and it has this fluidity of just the colors you prefer. I like the rectangular shape less, and leaves, less too. These same craftsmen have several more mirrors which I love more-same idea but more interesting shapes etc-but all of them are more expensive. The rest are 550$ and up. This one is under 300$. But I'd still look at others just to see whether you like the idea. (The website itself is very good and reliable and they do have promotions from time to time.) Now, if this one wasn't so huge..that's an interesting one. I'm afraid it's too big, too black, in short, too imposing. But I'll still post it, it's intruguing in its way. They have it in natural rattan as well. (ok, now Anthro doesn't let save images too. I'm sorry, will have to be links) https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/sculpted-rattan-mirror?category=mirrors&color=001&type=STANDARD&size=One%20Size&quantity=1 This one is a bit more expensive, but has a potential of dissappearing in color but still being present with texture. Personally think it's overpriced. Oh well. https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/foglia-mirror?category=mirrors&color=011&type=STANDARD&size=ROUND&quantity=1 much more expensive and seems too big. But I like the mantel shape https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/cecilia-mirror?category=mirrors&color=001&type=STANDARD&quantity=1&size=MANTEL Did you like similar in Anthro, or what did you like there? Then one can see whether others carry something similar for less. Finishes in Anthro can be subpar too, not justifying the price. Happenned to me with a light of theirs, since then even more I prefer to not buy new. But new can be returned more easy of course. that one made me smile..not sure though I'd go for so many obvious nature references. So it won't compete with the rug and especially the table, you know? But did make me smile https://www.amazon.com/Benzara-Wooden-Branch-Wall-Mirror/dp/B00JXFSPVO/ref=sr_1_113?crid=1FGJ0YY6WSLKL&dchild=1&keywords=wood+frame+mirrors+for+wall&qid=1610493177&sprefix=wood+frame+mirror%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-113 now that has spikes... https://www.amara.com/us/products/spike-wall-mirror and this one I like pecisely for color. but they have it in clear too. Too round though. Not sure about it at all, but. https://www.amara.com/us/products/circum-round-wall-mirror-amber#reviews-bottom (This Amara website has tons of pillows by the way. All price points. Check them out. ) OK I'll wrap my long post for now. Just to add how I love the proportions and colors of the lamps posted above. Pity they can't be directed, but depends whether you need them mostly for ambience, or for tasks as well, in this living room. All in all I like these first guys the most for your room, I guess. I mean the mirrors. Now there was another store, they have interesting things there sometimes, and not expensive either, but luckily for everyone the name escapes me. Everybody knows it. wayfair can be a great source too, but I'm like a guest who says "good bye" and continues to talk....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
