A Little Christmas Turbulance

My daughter and I are flying today to Maine to be with my Mom for Christmas.

So, in the immortal words of Betty Davis ; " Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride ! "

Lovely Chandeliers From Bill Nessen

All of these Chandeliers are vintage, from 1900's to 1940's.
And none are priced for less than 5 thousand US Dollars retail( for what the US $ is worth ) .
Only 2 of these pieces are less than $ 6,000.00, can you tell me which two ?

A 37 h x 35
I think this is FAB-BOO. I love the tassels. And I am definitely a lover of Drama in Design (and only in design !) , and this has that.

B 24 h 18

This looks like something that I have used to death. But it IS wonderful, no doubt.

C 19.5 x 21

D 25 h x 24

Glorious !!!

E 45.5 x 23 Ok, I will give you this one...............

LUCKY FOR YOU, this has already been sold @ $ 60,000.00 .

Silver over bronze. I think it is the BOMB !

F 24 x 35

G 29 h x 25

H 22 x 24

This is especially for V @ Visual Vamp !

I 32 h x 30

French, white opaline glass.

J 29 h x 26

Love the scale of this one, I think in the right room , over the right breakfast table, it could be cute. Or in a MUDD ROOM.

K 36 x 39

You know, you could buy one of those cheap cheesy brass chandeliers, paint it all over in a dark putty color - Then ( if you are talented enough ) paint a design all over in a burnished gold leaf.

But , if you want the REAL DEAL....Bill has it.

He is charming , handsome, he's got the goods , and he delivers !! LOL

I love the man , he's a gem.

And almost as shiny as his showroom

' Santa Rushed To Hospital ! '

This must be more fun for 'The Mommy & Daddy'.

This pic reminds me of a typical Man & Woman in a relationship.....she is hysterical and he is like; ' HUH ???'

Just the sight of a Santa Prop sends this boy into a state of total TERROR.

Even together these kids want OUT !! But that does look a little like a tearless fake cry to me. Something like Scott Peterson in court.

I hope she peed right through her diaper .

This photo breaks my heart.

Why do Mommy's have to have these pics ??

And we wonder why men have issues....this looks like the beginning of a big one !

This picture is taken only moments before an ambulance is called for Santa, who was knocked out cold by a little girl with a lead candy cane !!!

You GO GIRL !!!

And she grows up to be a Design Blogger.

Just Another ' HO ( HO ) HUM ' Christmas Party

Ah yes..... another HO HUM Christmas Party .

Having a man fall all over himself to light your cigarette is reason enough to start smoking.

But then again, I am no Holly Golightly. Are you ?

Let Me Be Sally Bowles For One Night

When I saw these pendants...........Sally Bowles, the lead character in Cabaret came to mind. I was just a kid when I saw the film. It was so great, Liza Minnelli was so great in it, that it ' Made Her' . Her famous family didn't hurt any either.

I could definitely see these Jake Phipps pendant lighting fixtures in a woman's dressing room or closet.

Maybe even over a pair of sinks in the bath. I think any of these fixtures would be the bomb in a boys room, or even better, in a powder room. Jake Phipps hit the jackpot when he dreamt these up.

Just think , you are all alone , so you put The Cabaret Soundtrack on really loud.....pour a glass of wine and begin to relax.

But the lyrics from; ' Don't Tell Mama ' & ' Perfectly Marvelous' won't stop calling.... Yes, it is time to grab the fishnets, hot pants , the bowler, the very high heels, and lastly the black satin halter vest. Now I am feeling it !!

Let's not forget the perfect chair , and THE MAKE -UP !!!! Yes, that's it, I Am Sally Bowles !

Boy, that was fun.... Do you remember doing that for hours as a kid ? ( keep in mind I use the term very loosely )

These are dreamt up and manufactured by Jake Phipps.

I think they are so kicky. Anyone with any sense of style coupled with fun has a place for one of these or a grouping.

You can buy direct from his studio: contact@jakephipps.com
