Switch Hit

I saw this ad from Fine Paints of Europe in this months House Beautiful and I stopped in my tracks.  I dont know if it was that awesome green paint, or the fact that it was done in high gloss, but I just love this entry. 


 Then, as I often do with interior design photos, I imagine if it was my own entry and what I might change about it.  Sometimes its a few things, sometimes its the whole room, but this time it was just one thing.


Can you spot the change?

This ad struck me too! Definitely bold, but the glossiness of the lacquer is a showstopper. I'm pretty sure I prefer the sputnik fixture because it adds an unexpected touch to a collection of traditional furnishings.

I thought this was gorgeous too. The lamp? Or the light fixture? I don't know :)

Love it and the change of light fixtures. A fantastic lighting designer told me that lights are like earrings - they can change the entire look of a room!

P.S. Thank you so much for your advice on Italy. I am packing more t-shirts to layer. I would have been miserable walking around in boots and sweaters.

That light fixture rocks. I wish I would walk into a crappy flea market and find one for like 45.00 or some ridiculous amount!!!
