You Light Up My Life - or, Ceiling Lights I Have Known And Loved

Anyone who has followed my blog or Instagram account for a while will know I love taking photos of ceiling lights.  And they are usually in cafes and restaurants.  Maybe I notice them because I have some spare time when awaiting my food?:)  Or maybe because they seem to put up really interesting pendant lamps these days. Either way, I am often to be found looking up, and snapping away.  So I thought I would share a few of the more unusual lamps that I have come across in the last year or so.    

cheeky cherubs at Sweet Decadence at Locantro, Daylesford VIC   

industrial light at Piggery Cafe, Burnham Beeches, Sherbrooke VIC     

gorgeous globes at Matthew Thomas, Sandgate Brisbane  

kinda spooky octopussy light at Chowhouse, Fortitude Valley Brisbane  

superior sphere at Brick Bistro Bar, Redcliffe   

The Belle General Cafe, East Ballina NSW    

lovely lanterns at Nikuya Japanese Restaurant, Fortitude Valley    

Elixir Coffee House, Stafford    

a bit sci-fi; a bit industrial; a bit scary at Delfina's Bistro, Fortitude Valley     

I think part of my fascination comes via hubby's work as a designer, and also from my great love of lighthouses:=)  Maybe one of my Scottish ancestors was a lighthouse keeper?  Who knows?   I just know I love lights (and lighthouses), and will keep snapping away while I wait for my coffee or dinner to appear.

yep another of my weird, wonky doodles:)
