In the recent issue of House Beautiful, something caught my eye:

It wasn't the amazing painted stripes on the floor. 

It wasn't the cute brass fixtures in the kitchen, 

or even the perfect teeny tiny table in front of the teeny tiny couch.

I'm sure the title of this post gave this away, but what caught my eye was 

the armillary inspired sphere light!

The armillary sphere, which consists of different rings, 

was used as a model way back when to demonstrate the paths of the planets and the zodiac. 

Now the interlocking rings can serve as inspiration in our everyday decor.

If you never picked up the July/August issue of House Beautiful, 

you need to either look online or borrow it from someone dear - 

with people like Bill Ingram featured in it there is 

something precious to devour on each page!
