Last week, I quickly relayed that the living room didn’t really look like this anymore:
And that a lamp had been purchased to replace those two black floor lamps flanking the couch.  You see, originally we had planned to have a big arc floor lamp in the family room.  I even included one in the mood board:

Well, after seeing the couch in the space, I still was set on the arc lamp, but Chris felt like it might shrink the room which would be against what we were going for especially since adding recessed lighting and taking out that duck-inducing ceiling fan.  There wasn’t much room on either side of the couch, so a floor lamp was really the only thing that made sense:

Then, on a whim one afternoon, I moved the living room lamps to the family room and they felt so perfect there:

Like, really, really charming. Amiright?

And without even realizing it, we ordered the exact lamp from CB2 that was pictured in the family room’s mood board for the living room.  It arrived yesterday, and I put it together myself (with a little help hinderance from Greta) in about 45 minutes.

I snapped a photo last night so you can see how she shines at night.  Sorry for the blurriness, I must have been real excited about the amount of light it gives off.

In short, it all worked out.  We are smitten on all accounts, although the new lamp has kind of started a mini-revamp for the living room.  But. BUT, I am trying to push the thoughts out of my head until we finish the studio and the family room.

Any other lamp love going on?

  1. Quick question..I have this exact lamp and it’s the main source of light in an unfortunately dim living room. What light bulb do you use/would you recommend for this lamp, given it’s maximum wattage of 150?
    Thanks!

  2. This lamp you recommended for my mood board was one few things I was going to do without, now after seeing how substantial it is, I think I need to reconsider. It really lights up the room!

  3. I think a frame would be perfect. Ry wants a map so bad in our house but I have no idea how to go about it. I’ve seen it cut down and put on 4 canvas’ with mog pog which was cool.

  4. I love the living room lamps in the family room! They look great. And the arc lamp is of course beautiful.
