Adding light to dark rooms is a fine art and the right lighting can make — or break — the ambience of a room. One of our guest bedrooms was certainly lacking a little ambience!
It had no other electric light source apart from the pendant light, which posed a problem for anyone staying overnight. It meant switching the main light off, then stumbling back to bed in the dark.
Never a good thing, particularly when there’s a wooden purlin — spanning the entire width of the room —sitting around 5 foot or so off the floor.
Needless to say, it results in many bumped heads and much swearing on various occasions.
*Hopefully* this situation will be rectified with the addition of a new light — a lovely Fisherman’s table-lamp.

It works beautifully with the rest of the room and it’s clever touch-shade technology means that it gives three lovely lighting options.
From a gentle ambient glow to a brighter, clearer light. Perfect for my guests, who fancy a spot of late night reading.
One of the features I wanted to mention, in particular, is a sweet little glass cover which sits over the top of the lightbulb and gives a really contemporary twist.
In my haste to put this little lamp in it’s new home I *almost* threw it away.
Actually, if the truth be known, had my boy not rescued it, out of the recycling, and said —
‘What’s this little glass bowl for?’
— it most certainly would have been thrown away!
Note to self: remember to unpack all items thoroughly in future! Who knows what I’ve thrown away in the past?! Oops!
Anyway. All is well and the little glass cover and its owner are together again.
Which, hopefully, will mark an end to late-night stumbling, banging of brows and subsequent angry outbursts ;)

It’s gorgeous, Caro. Great choice. I threw out some small bulb covers from John Lewis last Christmas because I didn’t check the box properly. Oops!
Thanks lovely!! Haha! I couldn’t believe it when he shoed me!! And even then I had no idea what it was!! LOL! Thankfully he knew and the lamp is much improved for it too :)
Oh I do love good lighting for seeing what you are doing.
Ah me too!!! SO nice for our guests to have a lamp right by the bed!! No more bumped heads :)
Such a gorgeous lamp Caro, I love that it’s white and shiny – beautiful. Oh good job your boy rescued the glass bit, it finishes it off . Thank you for hosting x
Thanks lovely!! They had other colours too but I’m partial to a bit of white in the home ;) xx PS — thanks for linking in with us
That lamp is just lovely! It looks perfect where it is. I think bedside lighting is very very important – this lamp fits the bill well.
Thanks for hosting this linky – first time I’m taking part!
Thanks SO much Naomi — and welcome!! :) Delighted to have you joining!! It’s SUCH a lovely linky — gorgeous to see all these fab blogs linking in each week — lots of lovely reading material and inspiration :) xx
That’s a great light! #HomeEtc
I think so too Lizzie!! :) Delighted with it!
So glad I read this today as we need lots of new lights at The Essex Barn from table lamps to standard floor lights – and so far I’ve only managed to find one that I really liked from a charity shop. Will pop over to Iconic Lights forthwith and try to rectify that situation! Fab choice by the way, really like it. #HomeEtc
They’ve got some amazing lights that – if you’ve got some decent ceiling heights — would look amazing. I love the Poul Henningsen reproductions — just fab :)
So pretty Caro. And so handy that it has those touch settings. I love that in a lamp. I must look up that company. Our living room is badly in need of a lighting makeover.

Lovely isn’t it? So nice to find things that are a little different from the norm :)
That’s a gorgeous light – and hopefully it’ll do the trick! And they have a great range don’t they? #homeetc
Thanks so much lovely — they’ve got some lovely things!! I was spoilt for choice!
What a cute little lamp – I love it, it’s almost like a miniature street lamp. That’s so funny you nearly threw the glass cover away – doh! Sabrina xx #HomeEtc
I know — what a plum!! I can’t believe I didn’t even notice either!! Having said that, it looks so much better with the addition of the little glass cover!!
What a lovely lamp, I want one! So happy to have found your blog, I can see hours of inspiration ahead of me. I am after a few new lights for my house so I will certainly check out this company, how exciting! Becky x #HomeEtc
Aah Becky — what a lovely comment!! Thanks so much — so happy you have found me!!! :) xx
