Finally! Waiting forever for these petite handmade French reading lamps from Galerie des Lampes. They are here and I am really enjoying my new reading "nook" in my living room. I think they are just the right size for this area and are beautifully handcrafted. However, I need something really interesting on either side of the window to hang on the empty wall space. Space needs more personality. Seems very bare bones right now and a little too neutral. My one wish would be to NOT have that wall radiator right under the window! I really despise the thing. Ruins the whole look for me! Thinking of painting it the same as the wall color but then thought it would just be this "ugly" thing painted!

Isn't the Benjamin Moore Camouflage a great color? I have it outside on my trim.
so pretty! i love them! and you nook!!!
Your new lamps are the perfect compliment to your chairs. Great style, scale and finish! Love it. Just popped over to their site to check out some lamps for a client. Thank you for sharing.
Best,

p.s. where did you source your wing back chairs?
The lamps are beautiful, you are creating a nice quiet haven in your home! What about a small table either cut or built to hide the radiator, a place to put your coffee or tea...there are so many great ways to hide those not so lovely boxes!!!
I agree, camouflage is a great color. It looks very chic and tailored.
What a lovely nook and those lamps are the perfect touch.
Almost forgot, I have a giveaway over at my blog http://aspoonfulofdish.blogspot.com, come on over and check it out.
stunning lamps and what a pretty place to read.
What an elegant, clean, chic reading nook! I actually think the whole thing is so pretty even the radiator looks great in the color it's in!! I'm super picky but it doesn't bother me at all in the image.
love the new lamps! definitely makes for a lovely place to read and honestly I didnt even notice the radiator till you mentioned it.
beautiful!! I LOVE the way they look and they make the perfect reading nook!
Jamilyn, those French lamps -- stunning! They make the room. And you are right, the dimensions are perfect.
