Bedside lights with a difference

Image via A page of Inspiration

I love the idea of pendant lights or chandeliers as bedside lights, something a little different to the usual lamp

I love how they leave the bedsides free to display something pretty...

I love these lanterns for a touch of whimsy.

These pendants add a very elegant touch to a  formal bedroom, complimenting the extremely beautiful sunburst mirror, without over powering it.

I wonder if this is a guest bedroom or does someone out there have children that would love & respect such an incredible space.

I know my kids wouldn't, they like to add their own little style stamp to their bedrooms!!!

Very glamorous, what can I say...

 I'm really loving these Plume lights at the moment



They are available through Mercator lighting here in Australia.
I love a pair of these pendants for the bedside & the ceiling mounted version for over the bath in the ensuite, to connect the two rooms.

Do you have a chandelier or two in your bedroom?

House Update & a big Thank you!

I love these chandeliers over the bedsides & think I have convinced my dream guy that its the perfect idea for our master bedroom, I haven't shown him any pics as yet, I just talk about how much I want them, veeerryyy regularly!!!

Just a quick post to say a

BIG THANK YOU

When I wrote about my concept plan & how I wanted my dream house to look, I asked for your ideas & suggestions on things I was unsure about  & I couldn't have gotten a better response.

You guys offered so much encouragement & helpful tips, I know I'm going to get all the advice & assistance I need just right here.

 For this I want to say Thank you & here is what I have learned:

Two mirrors in the ensuite is the preferred choice,

wouldn't it be just Divine to be the lucky girl who owns this beautiful bathroom.

Then there was the kitchen island & some fabulous tips...

I don't recall where I got this image from but this is another island I really adore, nice & simple but stylish,

Don't you think?

You suggested I make sure it is deep enough to ensure the kids don't put dirty foot prints on the back panel, you would think this would be a no brainer as the rental we are living in has gyprock(plaster) as the back panel at the breakfast bar & it is always filthy.

 So thanks for this reminder.

Another fabulous suggestion was to put a power point on the side of the island & that is definitely going on the electrical plan, certainly very practical & logical suggestions.

I really do appreciate your ideas, I have put so much thought into planning this house, but, there will always be things I will miss, no matter how much I stare at the plans & measure everything insight.

CHEERS

This would be my ultimate dream, layering venetian mirrors over a full size vanity mirror, unfortunately my budget isn't quite as big as my dreams!!!
