A lamp to fit any taste or whim

Posted in Decorating, Home, and Lighting

The auction house was chocked full of lamps. Everywhere I turned, I saw table lamps, chandeliers, lighted glass wall sconces and floor lamps. Some had unusual bases and others were more traditional. Most had white shades and white bottoms.

Of course, I was drawn to the more creative ones in the group. I’m always interested in the what a designing mind might conjure.
