They are very pretty and I love the word cattywampus. My children once hated that word but now that they are well educated, they seem to love it as well as I do. Funny how much smarter I became after they attended college.

I think they look just wonderful, good choice.

Thanks Patricia and Yaya. I think they crowd the buffet a bit. As soon as we have some other projects completed I am going to swap our dining room furniture between houses. The other sideboard is bigger.

Beautiful lamps and shades. Luv them. I think it is the clock that is making the buffet look crowded. Can you put that elsewhere?

Patty, I may find another place for it but for now it is staying there. I have had the clock (my paternal DGM) in that spot for years and it always looked great till I put my lamps there. I am so glad you suggested another spot because I am starting to get some ideas for my foyer.

I would scrunch up the silver pieces in front of the clock on a tray. It might not be right but I would see.

I had to rethink this. You can put the gingerbread clock elsewhere or you can send it to me (LOL, I love clocks). You could put barware there and it would give a lighter look. Then you could scrunch the silverware in closer to the middle and with crystal clear barware, it would appear more is less.

I love your new lamps and the shades. Thanks for posting this follow up!

I like everything on your buffet as is...including that precious clock.
The detail on the top of the clock is somewhat hidden/disappears to my view on this photo. The colors of the mat, frame & cat art on the wall behind the clock may be the cause.

I have one in that style~didn't know there was an official name for them, very interesting. I bought it on shopgoodwill.com for $8.75 w/$13.44 shipping fee. I sell in a local antique mall where there was a pair selling at $250 each. Hope you didn't pay that much for yours, but they *are* worth it!

No Patty, I didn't pay anything for mine because it was my DGM. I smile when I look at it, The top gingerbread has a carved bird bath with birds in it. So sweet and it makes me happy to know, my grandmother, who was always either cooking or cleaning had such a charming clock.

We are in a state of flux with our decorating but I will always have a place for that clock. It is so special to me.

Holly-Kay, thank you so much for your e-mail to let me know they arrived! They look absolutely stunning. I would love for you to give me the measurements when you have a chance. The silk is a perfect choice! I have 2 local shops that I can visit and called both . . .one had never heard of a Bouillotte lamp, and the other one was well-versed in them, so I think I'll go to the latter!

The display looks lovely. I can just feel the warmth emanating from that clock. I love the cat just peeking out from the books, too! You have such elegant taste that still manages to be warm and welcoming, just like you!

Thank you again!

Hi Anele. I am so glad I can be of help. As soon as I get home I will measure them and post for you.

Anele, the top diameter is 9", the bottom diameter is 14", and it is 6 3/4 on the slant.

Anele, you lucky duck!! ;)

Holly-Kay, thank you so much! That confirms I will go in person to a shop because I don't think the standard sizes offered online will work. I will take your measurements with me. I very much appreciate all of the trouble you've gone through for me!!!!

Patty, :)

My pleasure! I am so anxious to see your lamps when they are in place. I thank you so much for posting about them in the first place.

Very pretty holly-kay! I don't think I've ever heard the word cattywampus before, I'll try to use it three times today so I will remember it.

Thanks again so much, Holly-Kay!

And Old Bat, Holly-Kay has made me a big fan of the word, too! Much better than "wonky," which is what I would usually use!

Hi OB2B, I miss seeing your posts! I trust all is well with you and your family and you are making progress with your projects.

Anele, I am so excited to see your lamps in place!

Hi holly-kay! All well, but unfortunately progress coming at a snail's pace. You seem to be making great progress, keep it up!
