It's so fascinating to note how various lamps cast their light in different ways.

The rooster lamp gives off a bright light, and is one of our favorites. This photo was taken after dark but you can see how much light is in the room.
This lamp gives off very little light, yet provides a warmness to the area.
This lamp is shown a few photos down, and gives off an entirely different glow.
In the photo above, the small lamp gives off lots of light against the white book case and casts the light upward.
The buffet lamp above doesn't cast light on a wide area, but gives lots of ambiance to the area where it sits.
The light of this lamp is cast mostly downward.
Then there is the sunlight. It casts shadows across this table, in a way no lamp can.
Have you ever noticed this? Do you use lamps to create a certain ambiance in an area?

Love your variety of lamps, and I think they give so much more ambiance that can lights...and I have lots of can lights, but I love lamps and rarely use my overheads, except in the kitchen.

I love the rooster lamp.
ReplyDeleteI love the use of lamps over conventional ceiling lighting. Much more inviting and cozy. I love what you have done here!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. All of your lamps and shades are fabulous. I had to change some shades that didn't give off too much light, I don't like dark. lol hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI would have more lamps if I weren't so limited because of outlet placement. I have had several outlets added but there still isn't enough! I don't have any overhead lighting so I need all the lamps I can get. Very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteMore and more I am turning to lamps. They feel more intimate and warm than overhead lighting. We just celebrated our anniversary in Jan by buying 3 new lamps for the house!
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many lights I have gotten rid of because of this . . . they should have trials!
ReplyDeleteI love all your lamps...especially your Rooster lamp! I have lamps everywhere..I keep Hubby stumped by buying more and moving them around all the time :) Thanks for sharing.
