They have an amazing staff and so many fabulous choices of shades and finials!

    Hi Amy, It's Lisa F's friend Susan ... I had to tell you I'm so jealous. I love your lamp! I'm hunting for 2 blanc de chine lamps for my bedroom in my Savannah house. I thought maybe you picked it up at that adorable shop you posted about, Circa Who ... but better yet, you got it from a friend! Congrats, it's gorgeous and the shade and finial are fabulous.

    Liz-of course I would love to share! It's Restoration Hardware Silver Birch! They don't make it anymore BUT many paint stores carry the formula's for restoration paint so you can just call them and ask for it.

    Also Restoration paint is made by Benjamin Moore and online they are saying Silver Birch is called Healing Aloe by Benjamin Moore #1562. I just held up a sample of Healing Aloe against my walls and it looks like a perfect match! Good luck let me know if you have any other questions!
