As already noted every few months I pick a new item to obsess over and this month I have taken it upon myself to find the perfect candle. Odd, you may say, but I disagree. A candle can add so much to a room; odor, ambience, etc. I have surpassed my aversion to candles (i usually associated them with incense and pot) and fully embraced them as a decorating tool. And when living in an old creaky building with drafty windows adding warmth and pleasant scents can turn into a must. And the nice thing about candles is that they burn out, so you can try different ones as often as you use them!
Am really diggin on these capri blue jar candles because they manage to both smell delicious and come in a great funky glass jar. No decoration required. Available at anthropologie.
Love the idea behind these wine glass lamp shades. Just pop a tea votive in an empty wine glass pop the lamp shade over and voila instant ambience. Available at Moma Store.
Really like this Adam Frank Lumen Oil Lamp they're like the adult version of shadow puppets at A+R Store.
I am addicted to voluspa candles. We carry them at our giftshop and they come in some amazingly decorated tins and all smell really, really good. The baltic amber scent is my favorite; slightly musky, slightly sweet its the perfect scent. Available online here.
Really love this funky quartz candle holder from Jayson Home & Garden.
And finally, found these cute handmade votive holders in etsy shop Maryink.
