“The oversized Bloom Pot serves as both a plant holder and an outdoor light, containing four long-lasting LED lights, which provide more than 40,000 hours of use. Deep enough to hold large plants and flower groupings, the lightweight and weather-resistant pot can also be used indoors as portable accent lighting in lobbies and restaurants. When lit, only the color of the pot and light are visible; not potting material. Low voltage 12v transformer. Made in The Netherlands.”

Potting Dimensions:
Reservoir: 15″ deep, 22″ diameter at top of reservoir, 12″ diameter at bottom of reservoir
Inside well at bottom: 11″ side to side
Drain: 5.5″ long

Now here’s a quick solution to those of you afraid of rewiring light fixtures…This aluminum ceiling light shade simply slips over any existing light bulb/wire. No pliers or toolbelt required. There’s optional (powder coated) interior color of blue or red. Natural (without color) is shown.

This lamp has a great shape and a price that’s not hard to swallow.

“Classic geometry and proportion in smooth hardwood. White fabric drum shade. Bulb not included. 100W. UL listed. White (shown) or chocolate.
14″diam shade x 23″h. “

Here’s a nice lamp with a decent price tag. You’ve got three sizes to choose from and, if the mood strikes, you also have the option of some neat patterned shades (not shown here).

Solid linen or printed silk shade. Brushed nickel finish base.

These would make a delightful companion to the moon’s soft glow. Or, you know, they’d look cool.

Holy cow, I love these lights. Seriously, I think they’re spectacular.

“designed by omer arbel, the 14 series consist of small cast glass 4″ diameter pendants. designed to function en masse, the pendants are drilled to contain a 10 watt halogen bulb and suspended using cable. the result is that the fixtures appear to consist of light bubbles floating in mid-air. imperfections in the glass spheres add to this effect.”

Why, oh why is this lamp so darned expensive? Maybe ’cause it’s a lot larger than this photograph suggests? Or maybe because it’s hand made in Holland? Whatever the reason, I wish it wasn’t so much because I want it.

It’s a candleholder! It’s made of high quality clear crystal, so it’s got some heft to it and it’s named after one of the mountains in the Aegean part of Turkey (that looks like an iceberg.

Size: 9″ high

Now, here’s something that you can change up whenever you see fit. I like it lots.

I was at a the Super Target near my office yesterday and was confused and pleasantly surprised when I found several decorative items that I wanted. Usually when target tries to do modern, they get the scale and materials all wrong–usually way too small and junky. But Target did it this time! The had lamps that were at least 3 feet high, throw blankets that were mohair and some pieces were solid wood! I was astonished. I entirely recommend that if you have one nearby, and want some finishing touches, stop by and check it out. Don’t misunderstand me. You will not think you have accidentally wandered into Neiman Marcus, but you WILL think Target is taking it up a notch. The reason I recommend that you actually go visit the store is because the photos they have on the site do not do the products justice.

It’s in their Global Bazaar collection, “where the possibilities are endless but the supply is limited.” Consider yourself warned.

This particular item is a great hanging pendant light with a fabric drum shade.

-Features a 15L’ clear cord
-Requires a 100-watt bulb (not included)
-Part of the Global Bazaar collection
-10.5″ H x 18″ dia.

Update: This item is no longer available through original retailer.

So pretty…and quite affordable.

And of course I like this light because it’s designed by Mr. Wanders. I’m waiting for something he designs to come along and illicit strong feelings of dislike, but it hasn’t happend yet. This Tube Light is pvc/cotton laminate with a metal frame.
