Casa Petrie

The Lighting of Casa Petrie

May27

Thank you to Nesting Place for hosting Lampapalooza.

When we moved into our house, we undertook the task of replacing all of the lighting.  We also needed lots of lamps as two of the bedrooms do not have overhead lighting.  I’m pleased by the cohesive look of the lighting.  

 

This fixture is in our entrance.  I love the art deco lines.

This lamp is in our living room.  There are two of them.  They were a deal ($17) at Target a few years ago.  The pole is covered in chocolate leather with white stitching.

When we purchased our house, the kitchen had a bare bulb!!  We replaced it with this track.

Even though we live in New Mexico, I did not appreciate the adobe colored monstrosity that hung here before.  Did I mention my good husband installed all of our lighting?

There was no fixture in the hallway and Mr. Petrie installed this awesome gallery-style fixture.

I got the base for this lamp (and its mate) on super sale.  But then I could not find a shade that fit it!  Ugh.  Finally, I found a shade I liked a year later.

There are a pair of these sweet little lamps in Miss Petrie's room.

I have two of these lamps flanking our bed.  They are my absolute favorite lamps.  I waited for several months to get them.

These pendants hang in our library.  We got them at a fancy lighting store when they had a fabulous sale.
