When I moved the vintage Ethan Allen brass sconces from the dining room to the great room I was left with two empty spots to fill on each side of the hutch. I have wanted these sconces from Ballard's ever since they came out, but the price was holding me back. Just so happens that when I looked them up again they were on sale plus free shipping. That saved me a good bit of money so I bit the bullet and ordered them. The timing on that sale could not have been more perfect. Don't you love when that happens?
These look so much like antique sconces from France or Italy that can cost way more than these knock offs.
I love the chipping patina on them.
Perfect amount of gold and the arms really look old.
The tassels and the candle holders were very gold and a little too flashy for me so I just brushed some gray chalk paint on to knock that down some.
Have a beautiful day!
Love those Sconces....like you, I've been in love with them for awhile! They look fabulous in your dining room!

I actually found some vintage sconces at a local antique store for $200 for the pair!
ReplyDeleteI just realized from these pix, that your new curtains match your chair fabric and pillows. BTW I had a shower curtain made by Ann in the lighter shade of the buffalo check.
Oh I love them!!!....they go so well with the chandy.....and love the hutch closed too and that bench really looks great too!!! Glad they were on sale!
ReplyDeleteYour new sconces look perfect with your chandelier. I admire your casual ..so I just painted them. It seems like such a chore and so ominous to do. I am working on a more daring attitude.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! Gotta love that they were on sale. They compliment your beautiful chandelier perfectly too!
ReplyDeleteYour room looks wonderful I really like the large check chair cover I am looking for the red and white same size.
ReplyDeleteI also like Ballard design and have found a couple things on sale
Kim, these are just stunning in your dining room! I've been looking at sconces to add to several of my rooms and these have been enticing me for a while. You just may have convinced me... :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I so love this room...just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any better, you kick it up a notch! LOVE the new sconces:D

I love the new sconces... they go well with everything in the room! Also, I have been trying to find on your website about how you painted your hutch here with the pretty blues but cannot find it. Could you send me a link with the post about it? (I could've sworn you wrote one, but maybe not!)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
Angelina, I don't really have a tutorial for that. I just started grabbing paints and went to work on it without taking photos of each step. It's been years and I don't really remember what all I even used. Thanks
DeleteOh, gee, thought I remembered reading one... Guess not, must've been confused with your kitchen cabinet ones! Thanks, I feel like an airhead :-p well your cabinet is beautiful!
Deleteoh gosh they do look great. I think you might be costing me money if I go over to Ballards and look for them, haha!
ReplyDeleteLove them! They look so good with the chandelier too!
ReplyDeleteI too have admired these for years. I think they are too large for my small condo. Your up close photos show them so well. Maybe I can find a spot for one ;)
ReplyDeleteThe new sconces are perfect for the room and matches your chandelier!

ReplyDeleteyour dining room is so lovely with the blue and bright and cheerful style. love how you added the aged down sconces to the whole scene. they bring just the correct amount of shabbiness.
