I love that watercolor, Epp!

[Marth]

That's very nice, Epp. I love having things from places that mean a lot to me.

[Rosa]

That's so lovely, Epp.

I've wanted a Mondrian print for ages, with nowhere obvious for one to go, then saw this Mondrian inspired vase at the Tate (by MoMA designs) and immediately bought one. I like that you can turn it different ways.

[Marth]

I love that, Rosa.

[Annabella]

That is very nice Rosa

[Hazey_Jane]

Ooooh want. I love Mondrian.

[FiveO'Clock]

That's lovely, Rosa!

[Epponnee Rae]

Thanks for all the picture love! Let’s hope I eventually have a nice home of my own to hang it in, eh? :)

Fantastic vase, rosa!

This isn't a purchase yet, but I am dithering (who, me? :)) ) about a table lamp for the sitting room, and I like both of these. Any thoughts welcome please?

[Morganna]

The Big Light is this one, if it helps.

I think it depends if you want a directional light or just lower ambient light than the big light. Just for style I like the bowl shaped one (no 2?), it it is static it would be an uplighter?

[Morganna]

it is static, which is a shame. Neither is directional. i like the bowl one, too, but the other one is rechargeable, so I'd have more options for placing it.

Where I tend to sit there is a side table, and the plan is to put something there for lower level lighting. There is a standard lamp (same range as the Big Light) a bit further round, and I'd like something that gives a bit more light when I am knitting or reading.

I think it was you, Morganna - I'm trying to find the brown/amber glass sculpture that I think you posted.

[Morganna]

It's not ringing bells, but I do love amber glass :))

There was 24% off this for 24 hours so I felt it was meant to be. It's for the front porch (the outside of our house is being painted soon).

[FiveO'Clock]

I love that, Emma. We have a similar one at our front door.

I'm still trying to find Morgs' glass sculpture that I have in my mind. :lol:

[Marth]

Very nice!

[emma_p]

I remember Morgs posting amber glass too, in the sitting room? Wasn't there an issue with it?

This is my door inspo. If mine doesn't turn out like this (snow included) I will be disappointed. The paint is Mouse's Back which is named after the colour of British field mice so perfect for us. S's brother (same surname) is going to split the paint with me for his front door too.

That’s so beautiful.

I've had that pic saved for over a year! The colour looks so good with dirty London brick
