Good ideas. Love the lamp. My sister loves to knit...maybe I can ask for a present for Christmas :)

We have a small rental with an odd wall by the kitchen. I painted it black and hung up a beautiful white antique ornate fireplace mantle with gorgeous pillar details down the side. In the center I hung up 4 staggered wall candle sconces and it look so beautiful with the candles lit. Put some oddities on the mantle shelf and it looks amazing...The whole thing cost me about $50!!
