i love lamp

I don't think it's any secret that I've become a little obsessed with the lighting in my house. I want it to make an impact and bring my 1950's rambler into the modern era as well as give it some personality. We've already started this process by picking up some great ceiling mounts for the bedroom and bathroom. But ever since we rearranged our bonus room, I've noticed that it is sorely lacking in lights. All we have are terribly placed 1980's pot lights and a table lamp. It works okay for the middle of the room, but the corner where I like to read is as dark as a cave.

This is where you come in, dear readers. I need some help figuring out what to do with this corner. We will be changing the pot lights in the ceiling to something sleeker when we open up the ceiling to rewire, but until then I need something with some personality. Something that fits in with the industrial/slightly modern/vintage/comfortable thing we're doing with our house (get all that?). So in the comments, give me some ideas; pictures, descriptions, whatever. Be creative.

Your incentive for this sharing of your genius? A special gift from csn lighting! I have one special promo code to give away to the person with the best idea. So take a look at the dreary image below and  help me out! Use the website above for inspiration (I've done this before with csn. Their website is vast and has something to fit every taste. And no they aren't paying me to say this.). I'll pick a winner Thursday night, March 3rd.


Some rules and such? Hmm. One entry per person, but feel free to comment all you want. Inspire each other! This special promo code does not apply to international fees. Only one winner will be picked. But who knows? Maybe this will lead to more giveaways! Best rule of all: Have some fun. Looking forward to hearing from you!

  1. Hi Katie - I think a floor lamp in the corner would give you effective lighting in the area as well as when you're reading. This will also be a quick solution for now since we know your husband is working on this project in his free time, which is hard to come by for him. I would suggest the Pacific Coast Lighting 85-2412-20 Opulent Grace Tree Torchiere floor lamp in bronze.

    Happy remodelling!

  2. Hi Kelly,

    Congrats! You are the uncontested winner! I love the idea of a floor lamp and it was what I was leaning towards originally anyway. It will work perfectly for if we ever rearrange the furniture again, because it can be moved to any place in the room.

    Thanks for playing! You get a $20 gift card to csn! Send me an email and I will reply with the promo code. :)
