We Finally Upgraded Our Bedroom Lamps

April 17, 2024 by jessica Leave a Comment

Purchasing new lamps for our bedroom was long overdue. As I get older, I’m pickier about the home items I buy. I want to invest in heirloom-quality pieces that I’ll love for decades to come — not just a quick replacement or cheap thrill. That takes a lot of time. It takes time to weed through hundreds of items online, read reviews, put together mood boards, and — perhaps most crucially — have a “cooling off” period to ensure that it’s really the right item.

I originally added these lamps to my Pinterest board at the beginning of my shopping journey, but continued to browse in case I fell in love with something else. And, yet, I came back to these. I’m a sucker for Schoolhouse’s designs and commitment to quality (cloth-covered cords seem to be rare these days), and I adore that the base is hand-blown glass crafted from vintage molds. It’s a perfect marriage of craftsmanship and design versatility. The hardest part was selecting the lampshade color, but I eventually selected the warmer hue of the natural burlap.

To make sure I liked the lamps with the pieces I already owned, I put together a quick mockup (above). Fortunately, the IRL version turned out as great as I hoped based on my collage.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
