Lighting: Manana Lamp
From Francesca:
The Manana Lamp designed by Marie Louise Gustafsson for Design House Stockholm. Both the look and the price are decidedly laid-back; $220.

Outdoors: Vessel Wall Light
From Julie:
The specter of Halloween night always makes me think about outdoor illumination. One of the best ideas we’ve seen in a while: the Vessel Wall Light. Here’s what Y Lighting says: “Designed by Michelle Kaufman in partnership with Flux, the Vessel Wall Light is a vase-like fixture designed as an entryway light or wall sconce. The tall, slender, steel-and-glass form features a secure mounting base, finished in dark gray powder coat, that dramatically lights a large, durable, blown-glass vase from below. Vessel not only casts light upward, illuminating the vase and its contents, but also downward, offering a great design solution for lighting house numbers or entry steps.” The Vessel Wall Light is 23 inches high, 4.75 inches wide, and requires a compact fluorescent bulb; $295 at Y Lighting.
The vase can be filled with tinted water, glass marbles, polished stones, flowers, or even goldfish (the fixture’s efficiency keeps the water from getting hot).

Steal This Look: Captain’s Mirror
From Julie:
BDDW’s spectacular Captain’s Mirror, with a mulled leather frame lined with wood and a machined bronze hanging puck, has been on our wish list for ages. Unfortunately, prices start at $1,600.
So we noted with interest recently that the Expedition Mirror (steel frame with black leather strap and polished nickel hardware; 17 inches in diameter) is $400 from Maison Luxe in Seattle.
