Peacock love at Copy Cat Chic and Anthropologie

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

I was checking out Reichel B’s Copy Cat Chic blog for interior design ideas when I came across the post about her nursery… it’s peacock themed and I LOVE IT.

It seems to have been inspired by this lovely lamp -

KARE come from the attractive German town of München, which kind of makes sense. Get in now before the sale ends on 8 January. The pretty little number below is just £79. Bargain!

Take three: ceiling pendant lights

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

How wonderfully gorgeous is ths dab pendant light, spotted on /decojournal? It’s so pretty I don’t dare to find out how much it costs. My guess is four digits, not including decimal points?

I’ve been on an online search for pendant lights, inspired by the lighting choice of my dear friend Katie over on her these are my obsessions blog, who is keen on this Sylvain Willenz torch light below.

Torch light

The torch pendant light above is on sale for £972.72 over on the SCP website.

And then there are these ones over at the ACHICA sale website (you’ll need to signup) for a sweet £130.
