I have been busy packing away Easter this week and today I cleared off the piano and continued the travel theme in the family room that I started yesterday on the fireplace mantel, |
 |
I also cleared off the end table between the love seat and wicker chaise lounge and created a fun spring/summer vignette on it. |
 |
I thought a lamp would look nice on the table, but I wanted something that didn't put off any light since it would be directly in front of my view of the TV and put off a lot of glare. I had a pretty lamp base out in the studio that didn't have any 'works" left in it as I had intended to make a bird bath out of it for the yard. By marrying the two, it created a fun one of a kind lamp! |
 |
I put a bird and nest in front of my lamp and may make another one to put on top of the shade later. |
|
Since a camera is something you always take with you when you travel, I included some of my vintage camera's in the vignette I created on the piano. |
 |
I also added a Atlas of maps ..... |
 |
I have a hand painted ceiling tile in the center of the piano mantel with two hand painted ceramic tiles on each side and a vintage camera in the front. |
 |
I used my old Brownie camera as a pedestal for a china sugar dish..... |
 |
And this vintage camera serves as the pedestal for the matching creamer. |
 |
Here's a close up of the map..... |

Love, love the "skeleton" lamp shade!
ReplyDeleteI love the marriage of the lamp and birdbath--so incredibly brilliant! My kids would destroy my house if it was anything as dreamy as yours. I will simply adore yours from far away. <3 Thanks for linking up to Friday Frenzy-you're SO inspiring. I pinned this as well!

So lovely and feminine Penny. I adore the way you used your vintage cameras as pedestals to display that gorgeous china. So clever
ReplyDeleteThis is so very beautiful! It looks airy and light -- just the spot I'd like to be on a summer day when it's a little too warm and humid to be outside. Lovely!
