Bedroom Glam

March 31st, 2009

On the recent thrifting extravaganza I picked up this fabulous lighting fixture for $50 at the Palm Springs Revival thrift store. It has a very glam seventies vibe which I really am starting to dig right now – admit it – we are all loving Lucite and brass.

When we first moved in we installed this Ikea Fado pendant lamp to replace a broken down mess of a ceiling fan. I love replacing the Ikea with something a little more vintage, eclectic and unique – it just takes time and lots of digging to find those perfect fixtures.

The Boy has now initiated a cease fire on installing ceiling fixtures after all the Jerry rigging we’ve had to do in the last week. Too bad – I’ve got a cute Lightolier fixture that needs to be installed in the kitchen.

Here it is all installed and making the master bedroom just a little sexier.

Just as a personal reminder – here’s that same area in the bedroom almost exactly one year ago to the day.

Another thing that makes this bedroom sexy – this fab vintage pillow thrifted here in town. WOW.

I don’t know about you, but I need a drink.

Maybe its just my upcoming vacation to Laughlin that has me obsessing on cocktails and cigarettes… In honor of giving up and giving in there’s vintage bar ware for sale over at the old BRICK HOUSE VINTAGE Etsy store for your self destructive pleasure.

I think I might actually be thrifted out.

A friend visited this weekend to go on a whirlwind thrifting adventure to stock up for her big move to the east coast. We hit Palm Springs, Temecula, Hemet and everywhere in between. I don’t think I’ve ever been to that many thrift stores in a two day period.

There were many, many, many awesome scores – and I think after a long drought the thrift stores were plentiful in fine objects. I haven’t had time (or energy) to sort through it all but I wanted to give a sneak peak…

Wooohoo! Two awesome Arabia pitchers!

THIS might be my new favorite thing.

We are going to glam this bitch up with this fancy new Lucite and brass chandelier! It’s going in the bedroom, no matter what the Boy says.

***Thanks M – it was a BLAST!
