Lighting your home

Lamps are now a significant part of home décor. A small lamp can truly change the ambience and mood of your whole home. I’m not a tube light person at all. I don’t know why??!! Different rooms surely have different requirements. But just by using an appropriate form of lighting a space can instantly turn from boring to a cosy appealing one. Here are a few images of the different forms of lights in my home! A lamp from IKEA in the background… These look like a bouquet of flowers by day… and change into lights by night -
This was a Christmas gift. The vase is brownish on top and turquoise at the bottom. Didn’t kind of go with my home… so at first I tried giving it away. As we were removing our Christmas decorations…. This stuck me!!! Put the tree lights in the vase… and voila was my new lamp! This now being my favourite lamp.
One more for the table –
I just love this lamp… and the reflections on the wall –
In the balcony – (work still under process).
I just love candles and lamps… Hence more posts to follow !!

    Love lamps. I firmly believe lamps make one look younger and prettier and the ambience more romantic. I am all for that :).

    Its very true..lighting has such a significant yet passive role in decor.
    i like your pendant lamp the best (pic 5)..and that vase one was mighty creative .
    our priced possession so far is the bouillotte lamp ( http://stripesandshadows.blogspot.com/2009/03/whale-lamp-converted-to-bouillotte-lamp.html)

    hope you had a good vacation :)

    Hey,
    Thanks for all your comments on my blog :)Glad you like them.
    Antiquing is quite a demanding hobby..for now we get to pursue it only moderately ..it is drain on your time, energy and wallet :) But then it is also very rewarding when u get finds like this . And I would be more than happy to take you on my shopping trips...i can almost see a grin there!
    Take care
