New Lamp. Mid Century Modern.

I found this (gigantic) beauty of a lamp at Goodwill a couple of weeks back.   Of course I purchased it with all intention of selling it in my Etsy shop for someone else to love.  Wouldn't you know it, I get it home and bam!  it's "somehow" placed in my front entry room.  I just hate when that happens!

I moved some things around to accommodate the lamp and I'm not 100% in love with the look of the space but I can't bring myself to part with it.  It's a bit too busy in this area for my taste.  I've since moved the starburst clock down and too the right a bit. It was just floating in space up there.  I also added the green vase to the Lane table (the one from Salvation Army during my Ventura trip).  I guess it will have to do for now.  What do you think?

The lamp itself is in like new condition. It's hard to believe considering it's been around for 50+ years.  Someone took care of it...thank you someone.  Pretty huh?

STARBURST: Found! and my Saturday Shopping

I'm proud to say, Starburst - Found!  I've got a thing for starbursts, be it on china, glassware or the design of a clock; it tugs at my heart.  

I did my usual Saturday morning thing: no sleeping in, 1 1/2 cups of coffee, quick breakfast, throw on a hat and out the door by 7:45 ish to hit the estate sales.  This morning's sales were just okay.  I didn't walk away empty handed but I also did not walk away fully satisfied.  So, it was off to my regular tour of thrift and antique shops to get my full fix.

At my last stop, empty handed (no! it can't be) I took one look in a bin that had just been pushed out from the back and there it was....a vintage starburst clock.   This one is just one touch off as it has a faux wood look starburst/flower hybrid pattern.  I love it!  It's got a gold face, it works, is in excellent condition and it's a nice large 25" x 25".  It's already hanging on the wall in my entry room next to my original oil by Ozz Franca (another ridiculous thrift store find).  Yep, I'm keeping this one!

What do you think?
