In the search for the perfect pair of bookends I have decided that I love only two.
Ben Seibel Jenfred-ware bookends
George Nelson Jax / Jack bookends
The Nelson is a classic, but man all those Ben Seibel Jenfred bookends are sexxxx-y. These both pop-up on Ebay and Etsy, but can get quite pricey very quickly. The hope is that I stumble upon them somewhere unexpected and my wildest fantasies about keeping my books straight in style come true.
I got a fancy looking vintage lamp this weekend from Amsterdam Modern. Ellen is having a sidewalk sale of 20 – 50% off items this upcoming weekend May 9th from 11 – 4pm, to make room for a bunch of new imported goodies. If you are in the Los Angeles area – I’d say this is a sale not to be missed. She has the most wonderful lighting and furniture to die for.
I need to rewire the lamp since it still has its European electrical, but for the price it was such a deal. I am totally going gaga for plastic Scandinavian lighting from the 70’s.
