apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That lamp is on my Christmas wishlist, which I emailed to my boyfriend... with links, to eliminate any confusion and error. :-)

People, please stop yourself before saying, "I told you so."

Maxwell, is that a bottle of Rescue Remedy I see on the table next to the keys and wallet? Good stuff!

:)

Aw, our "new" home.

I love these types of hollow glass lamps -- but I have never gotten one because that dangling cord looks awkward and sloppy to me. I wish there was something they could do about that. In catalogs, sometimes, they actually photograph these without the cord (or Photoshop it out).

This looks quite similar to a lamp that IKEA once sold a couple of years back, or sold for 2-3 years perhaps but not now in any case.

What I liked about it was that it came in red and blue glass base with a similar, but whiter shade with a flat piece that laid over the top of the shade to shield it from glare and eyes, yet let heat escape and was only $24.99 if I recall right.

I wished I'd gotten one at the time, in red for my old cube at my old employer or for a shelt I now have in my apartment where it'd have been perfect for. Oh well.

Grrr! I seem to misstype more than I'd like. Geez. shelt=shelf.

*sigh*

I always wanted to find a way to plug the hole for the cord to turn it into a fishbowl. a fish in a lamp! it would be rad.

told you so

Aha, the "secret" is out.

ciddyguy, I have that ikea lamp in red and love love love it. I gives off a great warm glow and the red glass is just lovely, i don't think anyone would ever guess it's a $25 lamp.

Hmmm, does the Bach's bottle mean that there's a four-footed addition to the Gillingham-Ryan family?

O.K. Point me to the posts which tell about your move to larger digs.

I really like this lamp, but would LOVE it if it came in colors.

ebrown,
This is the first time it's actually been revealed. See the "new family home" posts here:
