Light It Up: Miniature Lamps


Organize & Stylize: Miniature Table Lamps

“Let there be light” isn’t just a biblical commandment. It’s a home decorating imperative as well. But the type of light is important. Want your kitchen to have as much cozy ambiance as your favorite martini bar? Miniature table lamps are your answer.

Go to Walmart or Ikea and grab two of these puppies. (Walmart is a great source. This lamp & shade retail for $15.)The lamp base should be no more than 5 inches tall. Any taller and you lose the cozy effect, as well as the ability to open your kitchen cabinets without banging into the shade.  

Get the lamps in either black or clear glass. The ones with plain, white shades work best. Plug them in, and they add instant class to your kitchen and make it as cozy as the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. It’s a lot of look for hardly any money. Is this advice guru-good? More like guru-great!
