Orange Shades

I had a little bit of déjà vu when I saw the chandelier shades posted about on Friday. Luckily, Susan from Shandell's got in touch with me and cleared it all up...in her note she included a link to a page from a past issue of Lonny that shows the gorgeous marbleized orange shades in action. Eddie Ross used them on a vintage chandelier and I LOVE the effect!

I couldn't find many other examples of rooms with colored shades, however, the next few rooms do show how impactful non-white shades can be.

I may have to try some snazzy shades on one of the chandeliers in our house. I'd also love to put some to use on a pair of sconces. Seems like a fantastic way to add some personality and color to a room without having to commit to paint or fabric. If we're lucky, Shandell's will make some Malachite shades...I'd be all over those!

What do you think of the idea?

Matchbox Source

Sorry to withhold the information on the Greek key matchbox I showed yesterday! After a some comments and emails, I figured I'd better disseminate the link...especially since it's gifting season. I actually purchased mine at a local Dallas store, William-Christopher Design, but they are available online at Shandells. These make for a great hostess gift since they are pretty and useful. I love having mine by the fireplace so I don't have to fumble around the junk drawer for matchbooks when we want to light a fire.

They have lots of different design options including these favorites of mine...

I also thought these marbleized chandelier shades could be a fun accent. I'm all about the orange ones. I wished they had provided a photo of them in action.

Anyone going to buy matchboxes? Which design are you getting? I'd also love to know if you order the chandelier shades.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
