Lamp Photos

Sep 26, 2011 By Layla

There are so many pretty lamps here at Doyles on the Dunes.

We were greeted by this one upon entering the place last Thursday afternoon…

Those crackled glass finishes get me every time, and I think the color of this one is so gorgeous!

There are two of these nifty little numbers sitting atop the side tables at each end of the sofa in the sunroom…

And this awesome aqua one resides in one of the guest bedrooms…

And speaking of awesome lamps in guest bedrooms…check out these vintage hanging ones in the room with the twin-szied beds…

The light they cast through the rattan is so pretty and warm at night! They must have been used or left outside at some point, because the metal part that’s attached to the wall is beautifully rusted.

And not that there’s anything wrong with the natural, warm wood walls- but can you imagine how lovely those pendants would look popping against a pretty painted wall?

I had a major “I Love Lamp” moment in the dining room when we first arrived the other day…

You remember “Brick Talmadge” from the movie Anchorman, don’t you?

 

He loves lamp, too.

PS- Hope you’ll swing by for our It’s Fall Y’all link party tomorrow…

…we can’t wait to see your Fall-themed mantels, shelves, ledges!

    Some things are just natural classics: the lamps (I actually have that aqua lamp except in white) and “Anchorman”. My son just hung that poster up in his new college dorm room last week!

    • Layla

      Sep 26, 2011 at 7:35 am

      Oh, cool! Where did you get the white one?
      😀

        @Home Goods. It is actually pictured at the top of my FB page right now (in the “photo strip”) on a black and white lettered tray along with an alarm clock. (@ Final Touches Redesign).

    What kind of flooring is in the twin bedroom? My friend and I were just talking about her basement in Montana that she wants to rent out. She has paneled walls like that which she loves and won’t paint, but she doesn’t know what kind of flooring to put down.

    • Layla

      Sep 26, 2011 at 8:06 am

      Hi Allison! It looks like a regular old wood floor to me. I’m not sure what kind of wood it is, but it looks like it’s been here a while! Love it! 😀

      • Allison K

        Sep 26, 2011 at 8:38 am

        Hmm…I told her I wouldn’t do hardwoods with wood all over the walls, that it would be too much wood. I know you and I would paint the walls white, but does it work the way it is? Are they light or dark toned?

        • Layla

          Sep 26, 2011 at 2:26 pm

          Hey Allison!
          She could always use a big rug to break up the wood walls and wood floor!
          The wood walls here are a medium-toned wood, and it feels very comfortable and homey! 🙂

    Hey Layla.
    I am just discovering I am lamp challenged.
    I never really notice too much what they look like.
    I am more I need lots of light when it’s dark out.
    I do believe I may become a lamp hugged yet. hehe
    P.S. You look so gor-ge-ous with your hair and maybe too thin
    figure.

      Hey Geri!
      I’ve got something gnarly going on with my stomach, and docs can’t seem to figure out what it is. 🙁
      I’ve lost 14 lbs. since January ’cause I’m afraid to eat anything that’ll upset it.
      Hoping to get it all figured out soon so I can start eating like I used to again!
      😀

    Love the lamps Layla:)
    Was wondering if you could share the names of those lovely wall paints in the yellow and blue. They are so yummy.

    I am beyond excited to see your “it’s fall y’all” ideas I found your website & have just been in awe of all things done! I absolutely love to decorate. All your ideas inspire me 🙂 Thanks

    Love the lamps. It’s about time I update mine.
    I am looking forward to the link party tomorrow. I had so much fun being challenged and decorating mine. It will be so much fun to see how everyone’s turns out.

    LOVE the lamps! I totally agree about the pendants & painting the wood walls. Might have to paint the white furniture though?

    I think lighting fixtures are the ABSOLUTE best way to transform a room without breaking the piggy bank! LOVE the circle lamp for some reason, and that’s unusual for me because I lean towards “square” shapes…

    I’m so glad you explained where “I love lamp” came from! I hear people saying that phrase and people write it as their status on fb sometimes and I never knew what in the world it meant . . . I should watch that movie. 😉
    You are gorgeous, by the way.

    Forgot to add… those quilts are GORGE!!! Would love to have one…

    That is something my house lacks is lamps. Now I have some inspiration.

    I love the lamps hanging over the beds. Who makes them?

  19. Dacia

    Sep 26, 2011 at 10:08 am

    Oh my goodness, I LOVE those quilts on the twin beds! Do they have tags on them that says who makes them? I’ve been looking for a beautiful, but modern quilt for our guest bedroom forever!

    It’s enough to make me want to sing “You light up my life”! 🙂

    I just completed an under $20 makeover on a dated brass nightmare. Come check it out.

    Love the lamps! Especially the blue one – gorgeous!

    I know what you mean about loving lamps. We had ho-hum lamps in our living room for years because I was looking for the perfect fit. One day, while in a store for something else, I found two lamps that I TOTALLY loved, and my hubby could not figure out why I was in such a rush to get across the store to grab them before someone else did.

    We are closing this Friday and will have my first ever mantle to decorate. I am STOKED about the party here tomorrow! I can’t wait to put some of your fabulous ideas into play once we get all settled in. I am currently clueless abou the living room, so I’ll be scouring your blog hard for ideas.

    Love! My mom and I were out shopping a couple of months ago and, of course, we both commented on pretty lamps we saw. She said, “You’re a ‘Lamp Lady’ just like your mama”. So true, how can you beat something that’s beautiful and gives light?

  25. Deneen

    Sep 26, 2011 at 2:03 pm

    Layla I love the lamp with all the circles! I love circles! Hope you guys are having fun!

    Oooh pretty! I especially like the 2nd one. 🙂

      Sep 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm

      I know…those little circles are so neat-lookin’! 😀

    OMG Layla! I have a system called LAMP at my job and my friend says that all the time! I totally didn’t remember that part of Anchorman until he pulled up the video clip.

    I’m in the market for some new lamps for our living room. I love the hanging ones in the bedroom pic!

    I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented here before but I’m definitely a lurker…LOVE your blog. Anyhoo…I love those lamps but girl, more than anything I am just loving your hair. You have totally inspired me to warm mine up too. You are gorgeous!
