Lasso Mini Sconces by Besa Lighting

You’ve borrowed ideas from beauty magazines to add gold leaf to your nails for a modern holiday look. You even bought a tube of bold gold lipstick to update your holiday grooming glamor. What about your home? Is your home as inviting and beautiful as its hostess?

Consider contemporary Lasso sconces by Besa Lighting. These modern wall lighting fixtures are called mini sconces because of their 3″ high and 4.72″ diameter glass. You can select glitter glass or ribbed opal. White on white doesn’t ever have to be boring. Would you say a white and silver holiday table setting is ho hum?

Give your bathroom, bedroom or hallway a designer edge with Lasso. The beautiful textured glass is called Lasso because it will rope you in. Think of a braided lariat!

Be a modern Slue Foot Sue! If this tall tale fictional lass can win Pecos Bill’s heart, you will find Lasso’s contemporary wall lights just as captivating. In addition, to these magnificent task lights to line your hallway, you can find vanity lights and hanging lights from the same collection to add winter white modern sparkle.

I prefer the polished nickel paired with the glitter glass but you can also choose satin nickel or bronze to go with the matte opal glass. Don’t limit yourself to this month’s holiday, Thanksgiving. Think ahead for Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and even Valentine’s Day bashes at your home.

Remember to treat yourself to a homemade peppermint truffle before your guests arrive! Next week I begin my rum ball making.

Webster Wall Sconces by Willmette Lighting

If you are longing for Alison Berger’s cylinder wall sconces mentioned in Remodelista that cost $3,540 each, don’t despair. That may be out of your price range. However, I have a beautiful substitute to recommend. Wilmette Lighting created Webster, a collection of transitional wall sconces with exquisite fabric shades and optional cage design.

Why would I recommend this? I believe Webster’s white shade with polished nickel finish looks sophisticated and upscale like the aforementioned cylinder wall sconce without the inconvenience of a 12 week lead time. In addition, Webster is affordable. You can nab these wall light fixtures for under $240 through AffordableLamps.com

These wall lamps use energy efficient lighting such as halogen or CFLs. You can dress up a plain bathroom wall with its desert clay shade and antique bronze finish. You can also select satin nickel with desert clay or white shades. The cage design is optional but I think it adds a charming basket dimension to the wall light fixture.Webster wall mounted lights are 11.8″ high and 5.4″ wide.

Belden Bathroom Wall Sconces Art Deco by Wilmette Lighting

Maybe you’ll grow to find me interesting. Maybe hang me in the bathroom?

These words were spoken by Orphan Annie when Daddy Warbucks was disappointed that the orphanage sent him a girl rather than a boy orphan for his publicity stunt. Determined, street-smart Annie had this smart reply when Warbucks suggested that he’d hang the Mona Lisa in his bathroom. Why am I speaking about Annie: The Musical and hanging things in the bathroom?

Clever Wilmette Lighting has created Belden as bathroom lighting. These bathroom wall sconces have Art Deco end caps in antique bronze or nickel. These metal caps boast Art Deco artistry.

Ready for some art history?

Art Deco arrived during a time of great economic conflict. During the Depression, America had barons like the fictional Daddy Warbucks that were living the high life while most of the working class were waiting in bread lines for food. Art Deco architecture and interior design celebrated chrome finish, geometric shapes, Egyptian motifs, and modern inventions like the radio. Silent film stars faded and talking pictures became all the rage. Train stations were decked out like the pyramids of Egypt. Buildings were designed to look like powerful yachts. It was was a strange time.

Fortunately, American came out of the Depression but became involved in a World War. Bring home your own piece of Art Deco by installing Belden in your bathroom. Wilmette Lighting’s Belden bath lighting is 24.3″ high and 5.2″ in diameter. The Art Deco caps are 3.5″ in diameter. I also recommend reading the classic, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, to understand the time period.

Wilmette Lighting has made Belden available as an incandescent lighting fixture or energy efficient lighting. You can choose also choose the halogen lamp version or fluorescent option. Belden’s incandescent option holds two 120 volt, 60 watts. The CFL version holds one 36 watt, twin tube. All three lamping types can withstand damp settings in this model.

The New York Times’ Writer Emily Weinstein reported that some consumers may be facing a type of vintage interior design fatigue.
