Just to change things up a little, I'm sharing my own design dilemma today.
Here goes: As I mentioned when I showed off our bedroom revamp awhile back, I want to switch out our 1930s art deco light fixture (shown in the photo at top) for something a bit cleaner and more modern. I have my heart set on a George Nelson pendant -- either the Criss Cross, above, or the classic Saucer Lamp, below.
My question: Since our bedroom also has two wall sconces, I need to find a pair of hardwired wall lights that will work with a Nelson pendant. And because the sconces are only a few feet apart over our bed, they need to be relatively small and not stick out too far from the wall.
For this reason (and also because I don't want to be totally matchy-matchy), the rather large George Nelson cigar sconces, above, won't work.There are mirrored and mercury glass accents around the room, so I'm looking for sconces with a chrome or nickel (vs. bronze or brass) finish to coordinate.
Any suggestions? If so, please post a comment here (with links, if at all possible) and let me know.
Thanks so much!
(P.S. Have a design dilemma of your own? Send it in, along with a photo or two, and I'll put it up here for a communal brainstorming session.)
