Floor lamp 'Polly-Gone'
5 Pins
Floor lamp 'Polly-Gone' / A unique and intriguing floor light. This is most definitely a statement piece and I have given free reign to my imagination. The bird is outside the cage looking inwards towards the bulbs which look like 'trees of light'. There are all sorts of styles and influences here; Louis XV meets 21st Centuary wirework, with input from an 1960s American brass parrot to top it off. #amazing #style #cool #home #loveit

UPCYCLED 'MR MUSSEL' FLOOR UPLIGHTER
7 Pins
UPCYCLED 'MR MUSSEL' FLOOR UPLIGHTER / The 'Mr Mussel' upcycled floor-standing uplighter has a briny past. I found this galvanised steel mussel bucket in one of Leominster's wonderful salvage emporiums. I saw the potential straight away and it sparked off an idea. The LED bulkhead allows the light to glow gently through the holes in the sides. And remember, only collect mussels when there is an ‘r’ in the month. #amazing #style #cool#home #loveit UPCYCLED 'MR MUSSEL' FLOOR UPLIGHTER £650.00
