Candela
I know you’ve seen these babies everywhere, but a friend of mine mentioned that they’re terrific for homes with kiddos. All the romance of candlelight, none of the open flame. Good point. They turn on when you lift them from the charging base, and last for about for five hours. They also turn on instantly during a power failure.
If you prefer the look of votives, they make those too.

Globe Floor Lamp
This 100-watt lamp rests on the floor and is made of resin and fiberglass. After a few months, it cracks open like an egg and a slender, large-eyed woman emerges.

Brocade Lanterns
I’ve always wanted to have a small room filled with brocade lanterns. They’re so vibrant when you group different colors-lime, yellow, purple, red. They definitely pull the eye away from all that IKEA furniture. I’ve pictured the yellow, pumpkin-shaped brocade lantern, but the link will take you to a page with several shape and size options.

A Christmas Story: 40” Leg Lamp
Ha! Lance sent me this suggestion, and as he says, “It’s indescribably beautiful.” That’s right folks, an exact replica of the major-award lamp from A Christmas Story. Not that you have to be a fan of the movie to admire a life-sized leg lamp that lights up in two places: the bulb, and the leg itself. Whoa, mama.

Babydoll Lamp
This is creepy at its finest. I know they’re not right for everyone, but they’re great for Halloween and for artistic sorts. They’re made by a French doll company, which uses the molds for dolls made in the 1920s. The lamps have moveable heads, arms, and legs, and at night, they come to life and try to suck the breath from your mouth as you sleep. Also comes in pink or orange.
