Serge Mouille, or not quite...

Some might say I am obsessed with lighting.  Well, they are right.  Lighting brings a space together, anchors a space, and sets the mood.  I call it "passion".  If you know me, you know that I cherish the works of Serge Mouille the most.  I am dreaming of the day I will own the famous armed pendant in my family home.  Or, the sconces next to my bed...  And mark my words, I WILL OWN an original.  If I have to take out my TJX Stocks to buy it, that's what I will do.

BUT, in this 700 square foot loft which is quickly making me claustrophobic, an inspired by version will do the trick.  I gasped while visiting West Elm last week to find a reproduction on clearance for get this... $74!  Brand new, in the box, and all mine for $74!!!  It won't even break my heart to leave it behind when I sell!

Let's drool a little at the works of  Serge Mouille....










And now for the wallet friendly find from West Elm:

Hi MLG!
Just like you, I am a Serge Mouille lover. His lamps are so elegant. I was amazed when I discovered some lamps that have - not so good as Serge's but yet - very elegant style, like Stanley . I hope you like my suggestion :)
Keep up the great work *
