We first saw this photo in a book ages ago and just came upon it again on Emma's blog. And we like it as much as we did before. There's something whimsical about the circus-type lights. You wouldn't think they'd work, but together with the industrial pendants, the vintage poster, the huge table, the vintage chairs, the Jielde lamp, they do.
Inspiration: Nadia Tolstoy's Dining Room
Makes us wish we lived in a funky old apartment where we could do something similar.

Love all the lighting, love the chairs...wish I could find some like that.
Who is that in the painting? It looks a bit like Norma Shearer.

Love it! The circus lights remind me of Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg.

Apparently its just me, but I really think the bulbs and the way the light fixtures are installed over the table look silly and unfinished. Just my opinion.

No, it's not just you, Glam Girl.
I love the other aspects of the room, but I'm not digging the circus lights. It gives it a "we got these at Urban Outfitters and put them up for our beer bash" sort of feel.

when design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
