I love the look of cut glass and especially the old glass that is commonly known as carnival glass (well at least it's what my mother would have called it). I found this old lamp in an antique mall with no shade.
Of course I fell in love with it and brought it home. Had no idea where I would use it, but loved the red glass.Bought a collection of red shades for it, and decided on this one. Another red lamp shade found a home on a lamp in the same room. The others will be going back to the stores. Note to self, should have taken the lamp with me when I went hunting for a lamp shade...........
I also found a spot for it on the bar. Seemed fitting since my mother always loved the color red but would tell me that the color red was for 'loose women' so she wouldn't buy anything red (get it, red, bar, loose women).
I had another lamp on here but like this one better. Perfect spot for my fine.
Yes, a nice addition to my decor and a wonderful souvenir from my trip to Amish Country.
As long as you don't put a red light on the porch, I think you'll be fine!
ReplyDeleteHum, on the porch heh? We've been debating paint colors and I told hubby I liked the thought of red ;o)
ReplyDeleteRed paint is one thing, a red light is another. LOL!
DeleteAh point taken. Too bad we decided to go with gree ;o)
DeleteI love the lamp. I think the shad is good too. Talking about red and loose reminded me of the Red light district in Amsterdam.

PAPS, my son went there (red light district in Amsterdam) when he was in high school. I remember him telling me how great he found it. Yea, any 17 year old male would say that ;o)
DeleteThat's LOVELY! You loose woman you!
ReplyDeleteOh Val if only I was loose, maybe I wouldn't be hurting so much now ;o)
DeleteThat lamp is stunning! Where do you live again, I may have to "borrow" it.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sonya, I'm too OCD to lend it out ;o)
DeleteWhat a find! It's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty!
DeleteI love the lamp! I think it looks great on the bar as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd red is my favorite color....guess I'm loose.

Peg, the older I get the more I like red too ;o)
DeleteYep, it is a gorgeous lamp.
