Table Lamps

July 5, 2014 |

Walking around the newly reorganized spaces this week, we noticed we have a lot of new table lamps and thought we’d share some of them with you.

Ball-o-Shells Table Lamp

June 10, 2014 |

Our photographer had trouble with this beautiful table lamp; the image simply doesn’t do justice to the way this lamp glows in softer lighting than we have at Affordable Chic.

Shell table lamp.

By day, it’s a white sculpture. In the evening, it’s a softly glowing globe of seashells and starfish, just what you need in a dull corner or foyer. Put it on a timer for the best effect, so it comes on as the sun starts to set.

Ask one of us to show you what it looks like the next time you’re in the store.

Fine China for Every Room

March 8, 2014 |

We have an interesting assortment of fine china accessories at Affordable Chic this month. Some we haven’t seen before, so don’t wait if they catch your fancy!

Wouldn’t it be fun to have tea with your granddaughters and their friends and pour from an Easter Bunny teapot?

Dining at home? We have a beautiful tiny soup tureen that will hold just enough soup for a two.

Finally, a beautiful china birdcage hanging lamp, just the thing for a guest room reading chair, powder room, or dressing table.

Stop by Affordable Chic the next time you’re on Creedmore Road at Lynn. We’re full of spring things to help you chase dreary winter away.

Lightbulbs. Yawn.

January 31, 2014 |

As exciting as a lightbulb? Until you can’t find the one you need, the one that matches the others or the one that makes your chandelier look like it did in the showroom.

We have a wide range of chandelier-base lightbulbs for all your specialty lighting situations.

Specialty lightbulbs for your chandeliers

The Dowager Duchess at Downtown Abbey can run gas to her chandeliers, and we’ll agree, there’s nothing like a real flame. But she didn’t pay the insurance bills for that lighting, either!

Details matter. We have decorative pulls and finials, too. Dress your lamps as carefully as you would dress yourself.

More finials, and some pulls to mix and match. You see that fan pull every morning when you wake up. Why not make it beautiful?

More finials, in crystal, shell, ceramic, and brass.

And while we’re making slightly silly jokes about lighting, “anybody got a light?” There was so much Art in lighters!

If you know someone having a mortgage burning party, and you’re looking for the perfect mortgage burning party gift, take this crystal cigarette lighter, from Ronco. You don’t want to burn a mortgage with a flickable bic.

Ronco cigarette lighter, now for burning mortgages and other “done with” documents!, in crystal.

Lights, lamps, and chandeliers

October 13, 2013 |

The beautiful gilded lily lamp we had in the store for a few weeks went to a new home and we miss it. However, we still have plenty of table lamps, ceiling light fixtures, and chandeliers to shed a little light on your reading material, dinner table, and bedroom.

There’s a charming tiny little table lamp, entirely beaded, in reds and pinks with flowers. (Click on any of the images in the gallery to see a bigger picture.)

If beaded flowers and lampshades aren’t what you want, perhaps a trio of laughing cherubs and a pink silk shade would work?

Finally, if it’s whole-room illumination that you need, have you seen the two newest ceiling lamps in the shop?

The bird’s sitting on the top of this birdcage chandelier! Four bulbs.

Next time you’re at Affordable Chic, make sure to walk once around the shop, looking up. We have a LOT of hanging lamps in the store, with new ones coming in all the time. Hope to see you soon!

Tulip Flower Lamp

August 26, 2013 |

This is one of the most striking lamps we’ve seen in the shop in a long time!

Mid-century vintage Holliwood Regency gold leaf Itailian Tole table lamp with five lights. 36″ tall; 22″ wide. The lamp is gilt gold leaf; with brass-plated tulip blossom flower lights.

Some of the original gilding is still bright; other parts are patinated.

The lamp has five flowers; one is mostly hidden on the far side of the lamp. The lamp uses small-socket chandelier bulbs; it has an on-off switch on the cord.

Tiny Chandeliers

June 18, 2013 |

We usually think of “chandelier” as something hanging over a dining room table that seats 32, perhaps at Downton Abbey. But chandeliers are made for tiny spaces, too, and we have several in the store right now that fill a niche, rather than a nave.
The first is white metal, five light modern fixture, with clear crystals and drops.

The second is a similar size, with four lights (two bulbs unscrewed to reduce the heat in the store), and milk and turquoise drops, beads, flowers, birds, and all sorts of fanciness. Wouldn’t it be nice to curl up with a good book in your boudoir under the gentle light of this piece of pretty?

Pair of Wooden Candle Sconces

June 14, 2013 |

Isn’t this lovely? It’s half of a pair; twice as nice. Ribbons and fleurs-de-lys on a lyre; brass candle holders for a pair of tapers.

Wooden Carved Candle Sconce (Pair available)

(Many of our Vance Kitira tapers would complement the colors. Check our stock to find the best complement to your room’s decor.)

Pearl Chandelier

May 21, 2013 |

Sometimes, crystal is simply not the right answer. If you’ve been looking for a unique chandelier for a boudoir or parlor, look no more. This pearl-draped, five-light chandelier could be exactly what you need.

Chandelier draped and wrapped in pearls.

Imagine how fabulous this will look in a pastel room, surrounded by pale yellow walls! Pearls go with everything, of course, so don’t let our color thinking get in your way.

Frankly, we can see it in a MacKenzie-Childs esthetic, too–they don’t always use pure white in their checkerboard designs, and pearl would look better in that style than anything more stark.

Come in and see this chandelier for yourself. We looked on Google Images and could find nothing at all exactly like it. There were a few smaller, one-bulb ceiling fixtures with pearls, but nothing that could light up a whole room, and nothing as elegant as this. Be forewarned–you could fall in love under this light!

Pink Crystal Drop Chandelier

April 25, 2013 |

This is a modern, UL-approved chandelier that has been augmented with additional crystals, long and short pink drops, milk glass drops, and birds and flowers. It’s a delight to see. Imagine it in a little girl’s room; in a pink powder room, or a tiny foyer!
