Urban Electric Company

I'm a big fan of Urban Electric Company lighting.   Each fixture is customizable with a wide array of beautiful finishes.


They have a quick ship option which is always pleasing for those projects that need to be complete before the holidays.
Here are some favorites:

Melissa Wall

Urban Smokebell

Lafayette Single

Anson Ribbon

Shaw

The above are all part of their quick ship offerings. 

Globe magazine

I am honored to have been featured in the Boston Globe Magazine on October 30th.

 I am also thrilled to see Jane Miller's beautiful vingnette.  Check out her great store in the South End and her great work here: http://www.jemhome.com/

fine details

A set of Match pewter place settings arrived this week giving us an eight place setting.  So pleased to use & touch these beautiful objects daily.

Of course they work great with the Match serving plate we received from my cousin Allyson.

And the beautiful pieces of Astier de Villate we received. 

 I use the platter often 

and love most the (non-oft used) fluted bowl.

Two new pieces are below.  

This one is just lovely.

John Derian has paired with Astier de Villatte to ensure that there is more to covet.

This is a perfect reason to use hardware that you love in your home.  It's not an afterthought.  It's your jewelry.  Something to touch and admire often.

Anything from Nanz:









Restoration pieces:

Often Rejuventaion hardware will do what is needed to pull a project together:

Beauty is in the details.

It's almost always about the lighting...
