They recently got in a large container of fixtures from France where they do much of their sourcing and I wanted to share with you some of my new favorites! This old bouillette lamp is a great classic.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUaE4z6evomAkjL0dKdmuSo-YP2EXmVE6lk9gVNtGhDy9X7x9duztAa_CvQfVLd3oLNVUAbNrlT2BluDHeVHgWKJW0FdAbpTtB-bdzRwpfUXBu3Vk8MsVgnEVyp2qGJuTOEnYzlqd272s7/s1600/artisan+lamp+company+window.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUaE4z6evomAkjL0dKdmuSo-YP2EXmVE6lk9gVNtGhDy9X7x9duztAa_CvQfVLd3oLNVUAbNrlT2BluDHeVHgWKJW0FdAbpTtB-bdzRwpfUXBu3Vk8MsVgnEVyp2qGJuTOEnYzlqd272s7/s400/artisan+lamp+company+window.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>One of my favorite things about Artisan is they change their window display every few days - especially as I live a few blocks up the street and pass daily!

Was nice to see some of you there! However, I still managed to get in an amazing estate sale in my own neighborhood of Cleveland Park. I hope I'm not boring you with my weekly posts of my found treasures for my still relatively 'new' condo but they're really fun for me!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZCs_LznOUXCVQW1eKEcVrRLq473vonaYZWZDg7dUdBYtISEAhsDOnW-4bz7P348WMD2BR7_VATlN-1Cf1SL0zehwB0VU16xd2-j2ECZFfWMhrlyuKXYHQIAWe5NIaqq3j44LfRGcpgCO/s1600/floor+lamp.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZCs_LznOUXCVQW1eKEcVrRLq473vonaYZWZDg7dUdBYtISEAhsDOnW-4bz7P348WMD2BR7_VATlN-1Cf1SL0zehwB0VU16xd2-j2ECZFfWMhrlyuKXYHQIAWe5NIaqq3j44LfRGcpgCO/s400/floor+lamp.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>My apartment is quickly becoming a wayward home for stray chairs and tables. I can't turn a good one down! I found this interesting vintage Baker furniture tea-height side table with Queen Anne styled legs but also some art deco influences that I placed in my dining room window. The floorlamp to the right was another find and one that came together nicely. The John Robshaw lampshade was found at an estate sale LAST week and the lamp finial from a 3rd estate sale last month (for a grand total of $35 in its entirety)!  I love how the floorlamp matches the antique tablelamp I got on Thomas Jaynes <a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/">OneKingLane's</a> sale seen on the table. The floorlamp will live in my bedroom next to <a href="http://interior-design-pictures.blogspot.com/2013/10/estate-sale-mystery-find.html">last week's chair find</a>!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHh5xogVt0RewFvh3drX4fpJDL5UNLHhDIbEKjQ0mVuISuXXWkWmhaqELdgk6zxLels2i-Rmfxz7q0Jzkcy3w4OyJV8ryBnej7QZJ7ZyXTutPFLhAk3RmAhtXKOxIWGZwhRvwLTQgWvn-/s1600/carved+ivory+flowers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHh5xogVt0RewFvh3drX4fpJDL5UNLHhDIbEKjQ0mVuISuXXWkWmhaqELdgk6zxLels2i-Rmfxz7q0Jzkcy3w4OyJV8ryBnej7QZJ7ZyXTutPFLhAk3RmAhtXKOxIWGZwhRvwLTQgWvn-/s400/carved+ivory+flowers.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>These intriguing floral pieces stand about 4" tall each and are carved entirely out of antique ivory which was then stained and painted.
