I’ve been looking for a pendant lamp for my oh-so dark living room, so I hiked it out to IKEA. Unfortunately, they didn’t have anything I wanted (too simple!) so I grabbed a pendant light fixture and thought I’d figure something out.
Then I stumbled on this gorgeous idea from designsponge. I love it and have a good idea of a tweak. Stay tuned.
Modular stuff is pretty awesome by my standards. Anything that I can customize to my wavering tastes is pretty good.
I love the twist together lamp. It’ s a bunch of cubes that you twist together to form whatever shape you want. A wall of lamp? OK. A squiggly-lookin’ thing? Got it.
Each set comes with four blocks and you can keep adding more and more sets on to your needs. ($109)
In these cute minimal lamps, the wire that brings this little guy electricity is the same wire that’s decorating it so pretty. I love the simple earthy colors and you can knot and loop the wire all you want to change the length of the 5m long cord. ($240)
OK, how can you not love something that does double-duty? I like this trend of surrounding things in glass, not that that’s a good way of explaining it. Glass suspension? Clear storage? Someone make up a name for it quick. ($20)
Bobby, my nephew, has to sleep with a nightlight. And the nightlight has to be on in the hall too. For my sister, they don’t really mesh with her modern decor. I think I’ll get her this cute jackrabbit nightlight from Elsewheres. It’s got a good glow, but isn’t, you know, a Glade Plug-in. ($46)
I love this little porcelain owl lamp. Owls are kind of over, but I think they’re a cool silhouette and with the crazy animal of the moment rotation in the design world, they’ll be back sooner or later. It’s also pretty small (9 ¾” tall, 6” wide and 8” long) so it’ll fit perfectly into a tiny corner, or in my case, a tiny desk. ($116)
Also, type in DECORAZZI to get a [...]
I’ve been working on my little home office, in an effort to stop paying my local coffee shop billions of dollar a week (OK, more like $25 a week in coffee and snacks), but it’s not quite there yet. I have a lamp from a long time ago, and it works, but it’s kind of ugly.
I should be more budget conscious, but I really, really like this lamp from perch. How bright do you think [...]
I hate tealight holders that don’t project the light. I have a couple that hold the glow of the tealights more than help it shine, so annoying. These little guys, however, are far from that. ($18)
