apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We love these Glansa lights from Ikea, and get them every year to create a little holiday cheer around the house (last year they only came in white!!)

Please note our huge disclaimer that these babies take 4 AA batteries and, if left on all night, will reach their limit. However, the battery pack allows for some colorful lighting ideas: filling a glass bowl, wrapped around small indoor plants, or strung around cabinets that are far from light sockets.

At a buck apiece (plus the batteries) we look at these as slightly disposable (although completely reusable) holiday décor must haves.
