    Not a Lamp

    I spent quite a while clicking around the CB2 web site looking for this fabulous yellow lamp I saw in their new catalog. I searched under “lighting.” I searched under “new decor.” Nothing. Then I realized that it’s not a lamp at all.

    It’s a very sneaky coat rack. I think I need glasses.

    Ice Cream!

    I know soft-serve isn’t real ice cream, but I love it anyways. Half the reason I eat a Jason’s Deli for the occasional lunch is the free soft-serve. It would be a little too cold for a day like today (Texas is having a rare cold-snap), but even looking at this giant ice cream lamp makes me think I might have to stop by the nearest freezer isle on the way home from work.

    And it’s even cuter when it’s next to a cat.

    Chocoholic

    Need a Monday chocolate fix? These lamps are low on calories and, may I predictably add, “high on style.” But seriously, they are pretty cool looking.

    Flash Light Lamps

    I always like a light with a sense a humor. Hopefully they don’t require batteries.

    A Round of Applause

    A pair of these would be the perfect combination of the elements. A cool, metalic lamp on one side. And a warm, wood lamp on the other.

    Sphere Table Lamps, $99 each

    Simple Swoop Lamp

    I’ve always found the PBTeen sale to be a good source for some lovely adult-worthy home decor items. I’m now including among them this chic swoop lamp. I’ve been searching for one for awhile and always find them cost-prohibitive. This one, however, is currently marked down to $199.

    Chateau Lamp

    I can’t believe this is a lamp. It’s so whimsically complex it actually took me a couple of looks to find the light-producing portion. It’s right over the tiny table, wine bottle and wine glass. Duh.

    Etsy Find: Laser-Cut Wood Screen

    I was completely blown away by the work of Etsy seller, Lightwave Laser, this morning. Especially this amazingly intricate laser-cut wood screen with a tree motif.

    It reminds me of something you’d find in a Frank Llyod Wright home.

    It’s a little out of my price range at $4500, but I’d say well worth the price considering the level of detail.

    If you’re looking for something a little more affordable, the store also features several laser-cut lamps for just $132 each.
