Style Illuminated

Blog Apartment Therapy has included some of our table lamps in a post about reasonably priced lamps under $75 bucks.

They like the White Moderne Droplet Table Lamp, the Retro Wood Ovals Table Lamp Base, the Kito Orange Table Lamp (gotta love the orange!), and the sleek Hajur Black Table Lamp. 

We like 'em all; great choices!

Besides attractive graining and an appealing light color, teak is sturdy and naturally weather resistant. That's why we love this teak wall shelf and towel rack for the bathroom. Plus, this eco-friendly design is repurposed from castoff teak wood. Sustainable and so stylish!

A pendant chandelier is a great way to add pop to a room. This new design certainly does that, with its sphere of pop art aluminum flowers and colored glass centers.

This would like great in a kitchen area or even in a child's bedroom. Go flower power!

Got a small room space you want to make the most of? Use a glass top or transparent top table. These make a room feel larger and less cluttered. I especially like the nesting tables that tuck neatly out of the way when not in use. Glass top tables. Glass top seating.

The Lytegem desk lamp is a little beauty that was designed by Michael Lax back in 1965 and is now part of the permanent collection of New York's MOMA.

The high-intensity lamp is great for reading, and you've got to love the space-age retro look.

It comes in three colors, white, black and persimmon.
