Ooo, why save this for your creepy mansion when it’ll be just as intriguing in your daily dwelling.

If you’re a loyal reader, you’ll remember we posted this last October, soon after which it flew out the doors and became back ordered before anyone was the wiser. Such is often the case, unfortunately. I do try to alert when popular items are available again, and, as this is, in fact, back in stock, you now can have one or two for your very own.

There’s more to Mortimer than meets the eye! This sculpted candle will keep watch atop any mantel or pedestal in your haunted mansion.

Available in black or white.

These are a great pair of wall lights- you see portraits only when they’re on, otherwise they’re just a plain grey or white.

Wall lights as functional art…literally!
This discreet pair of oval canvas wall lights reproduce two “shy” old Master Paintings of the Flemish school that appear only when the lights are switched on. Switched off, the wall lights assume a simple, modern monochromatic look. Turn them on, the features of Cornelius and Catherina will filter trough, giving your decor a refined yet modern look. Sold in pairs. Available with a grey or a white canvas background.

This looks like a pretty reasonable price for a lamp that does tricks.

“This light transforms easily from a table to a floor lamp and back again. Just unleash the aluminum base and reposition on to any height. This light will give any room a magical touch, seemingly ignoring the laws of gravity.”

Lampshade in polypropylene, polished cast aluminum base, and translucent lampholder, plug, switch and cable.
Dimensions: dia 5.71″ l 9.84′

On my daily walks to work, I see the new graffiti from the night before, and then on my way home I see that has been painted over by a shop owner or City Beautification volunteer. One morning, I saw some young men painting graffiti on Hollywood boulevard, (with the marks and symbols that I’ve always acquainted with gang activity), and then on the way home I saw some people from City Beautification painting over it with a paint to match the background. It was sort of lovely to be witness to both the defacing/refacing processes.

I have always marveled at graffiti and the fact that no one has come up with a device for stopping it.

Anyway, that’s what I think of when I see this pendant lamp featuring a mural of Brooklyn graffiti.

Welded cut tubes make up this super sized lighting ornament.

This honeycomb-like shade looks like it would cast a nice filtered glow.

designed by heath nash for artecnica, this tyvek-based lamp ships flat and expands into a series of honeycomb structures. the key to the rigidity of this shade lies in an interior white-coated steel sphere that provides spacing between the light source and the tyvek. uses a 60W incandescent max

small: 15″ diameter x 17″h, $178.00

A clever candleholder that captures a tiny bit of the past (or maybe you just think it’s cute…).

It’s hard to forget the image of all those little cars streaming into West Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Not surprisingly, the car, a Traband, has become a symbol of all the more positive aspects of East Germany and the end of communism – despite its smoky engine and poor performance. Now you can finally have your very own… and be rest assured that the only smoke coming out of it will be from the candle.

As you can see from the pictures above, one of these lamps can be used outdoors while the other is most certainly indoor only. They’re both very simple globe designs upgraded into fantastic lighting choices simply by adding color filters and metal accents.

These remind me of the GrayPants Scrap Lights posted a few weeks ago. These are plastic instead of cardboard, of course, but it’s the same sort of idea.

Similar to the Light Bulb Candle posted before, this set by Harry Allen has a bit more detail and you get two, so that seems like a good bet.
