Details from High Point: The Ribbon Tree Lamp

I know, I know. Market was WEEKS ago and I'm totally behind in my reporting, but I promise to keep bringing you little goodies I found while I was there, starting with this quirky and creative lamp...
A very Anthropologie-esque approach to lighting, this floor lamp from Arteriors Home would be just too perfect in a room that welcomes the outdoors in... or perhaps in an entryway on either side of the hall, sort of how they set it up here in the showroom.
The shade is created from loops of ribbon woven in and out of the frame creating fantastic texture! But, my favorite part was the attention to detail in the styling... a few little birdies in the base of the lamp.
These cuties also flanked one of the lamps and were placed about the showroom with fresh flowers... I know I've seen them before, but seriously, they're adorable. I'd love a pair for my entryway to hide dripping umbrellas or greet visitors with fresh greens!

Every Queen Needs Her Throne...

I promised more highlights from High Point, so I finally pulled my photos together to separate them out an discovered that I am apparently addicted to chairs at the moment (yes, you can add these all to the birthday wishlist)...
My living room could use a lovely little side chair. Something a bit more petite, but that still makes a statement. This gorgeous classic piece by Alexa Hampton for Hickory Chair would be an amazing option... I especially loved the detail in the back. And, because they'll do just about any fabric and any finish at HC, I'd get it done in a rich velvety signature green. YUM.
Of course, since many queens also have to think about their kings, perhaps I'd go with something to appease both of us. The chair on the left from Pearson is a perfect example - the tweed fabric and dark finish appeal to the other sex while the beautiful lines and smaller size appeal to moi. I also adored the lines of the chair on the right (also part of Alexa Hampton's collection for Hickory Chair). The way the wood curves through the side and back is nothing short of amazing. As Alexa informed us, it took many trials to get it just right - I'd say they aced it! (PS - I'll also take the bench just as it is, please!)
However, out of all the chairs in the showrooms, this little slipper chair by the adorable and gracious Suzanne Kasler (again for Hickory Chair) stole all of our hearts. And, since I've just added a bit of orange to my living room, this would be perfection. In a warm orange leather, it's the ideal throne for any lady to perch on. As we like to say around here - yes, please and thank you!

Which one would you take?

The Wishlist Begins...

It wouldn't be a birthday week around here without a completely unattainable wishlist (hence the word wish) - so let's start with one of the most insanely gorgeous and original chandeliers I have ever laid eyes upon...
Ladies and gents - I give you the Andre Arbus "Christal Chandelier" - recreated by Baker this market as a part of the debut of the Andre Arbus collection that is nothing short of breathtaking. This, piece, however, was so enchanting that I didn't even notice those horrible ceilings until just now.

The original chandelier hung in Arbus' Paris apartment - can you imagine? Three bulbs are hidden by the crystal 'crown' that surrounds them, all encompassed in a perfect bubble and 'hung like a jewel' as Baker says. Perfect for a birthday princess, if I'm not mistaken.

PS - I'll have much more on High Point, Arbus and Baker to come!
