Friday Fave… Meet Henry

Happy Friday! I am feeling SO much better, the sun is out, and I can just feel it’s going to be a great day (or at least I have decided to make it one!).   This week flew by, but I suppose that’s what happens when you’re sick.  Do you have any fun plans for the weekend??

So it’s been ages, but I am finally back with another Friday Fave! The New Henry Collection of lighting from Waterworks.   The lines are crisp, timeless and the simplicity if just elegant.  I love the small details that make these lights so eye catching, the trumpet shape of the escutcheon, the hex shaped nut, and the coin edging detail on the ring.

“Ridged Fresnel glass, originally used in lighthouses, amplifies the fixtures’ light. Notched gadrooning and curved escutcheons straddle the line between elegance and function.”

Both lights are available in Chrome, Polished Nickel, and Unlacquered Brass.  In Chrome the pendant is $550 and the sconce is $385.  My mind is already spinning to find homes for these beauties!

Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you Monday!
Enjoy your day!

Rope Handrails…

Good Morning! You know I haven’t been feeling 100% because I haven’t had a cup of coffee in almost a week!! Tragic (definitely a record) I know, but I am slowly getting back into the swing of things over here…Watered my poor plants yesterday that were scorched (we’ll see who comes back to life),  actually did some laundry (no one likes a designer in dirty clothes), and managed to go the farmers market and stock the fridge! And now this morning a new post…finally!

As I have said before I love Staircases… they may be one of my favorite elements in a house.  I have been discussing with a client the possibility of using a rope handrail down to the finished basement which will have a coastal feel.  What a better way than to gather some great inspiration images!
