Tiffany's Today

Living in a place like a condominium offers very little space compared to living in a standard sized house. That is why it is very essential to choose furnishings and appliances that will help you maximize that precious space without making it looking cramped. Here are some of the home furnishings and appliances that you can add to your checklist when making a purchase:

~ Love seat, as opposed to a couch

~ Coffee table

~ Small accent and pedestal lamps

~ George Foreman toaster oven

~ Double-burner stove

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been infatuated with Tiffany lighting, so when I got my own place, the first thing I wanted to do was go out and invest in some. Of course, my fiancé insisted that we buy some more practical items first, and by the time we were finished furnishing our home, there was barely any money left in the budget. But I didn’t want to go without my Tiffany lighting.

Purchasing a chandelier or elaborate lamp was out of the question, so I decided to see if they had any accent pieces. After doing a quick search online, I was able to find Tiffany style pedestal lamps. Now I can have Tiffany style lighting in my home and we still aren’t even over budget!

You’ve probably heard about Tiffany lamps for many years—but do you know what exactly makes these lamps so special? At the most basic level, a Tiffany lamp contains stained glass panels rather than a fabric shade. They are, of course, marked by the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. Louis Comfort Tiffany began making and distributing these lamps in 1895. The production of Tiffany lamps is currently viewed as a major contribution to the Art Nouveau movement.

What is Art Nouveau? Simply put, it was an artistic movement in response to the more rigid, academic movements that preceded it. Nouveau art is marked by flowing lines, dramatic curves and floral patterns. And this is exactly what distinguishes a Tiffany lamp. They are often adorned with stain glass panels showing various flowers such as roses, wisteria, lotus, and others. The dragonfly Tiffany style lamps are also very common.

Today, authentic Tiffany lamps are almost impossible to find. They are mostly housed in museums, and the ones for public sale have fetched upwards of $8 million. This has led to the rise of Tiffany style accent lamps and other lighting which feature the trademark style without the exorbitant price tag.

One of my favorite places at Disney Land is the Tiki Room.   So, I guess I like birds. They sure are beautiful and I cant get enough of the beautiful music that they make in the mornings. With that being said, the only bird that I want in my home is a Tiffany Style Lighted bird,  glowing  on a shelf in the living room.

Tiffany Style Accent Lamps come in so many different styles.  The Tiffany Style Birds really get my attention.  I think it is the ultimate accent lamp for a room and bird lovers everywhere.

I am not afraid of the dark.   I guess, I should be very thankful for that.   Not everyone is comfortable in the dark, even in their own home.   Understandably, a child might have a harder time with this area.

In every room of my house,  especially if I am having company over,  I have  little soft accent lamps to help light the room just enough to help you find your way and guide you to  the right door, room, bed, bathroom, a or hall way. Literally  every room in my home has one and they are on every evening.

Tiffany  Style Accent Lamps are so lovely for just about any room in your home, and are perfect for all homes that have  small children and could help them feel a little more comfortable walking in the dark.

I wish I had a green thumb.  I do not.   Still, I keep trying and buying very cool draping plants and other types, now and then because they  are simply  so beautiful and look so great almost everywhere.  I have one other reason why I keep trying to learn the secrets to keeping them alive.

At home, I have a very cool Tiffany Style Pedestal Lamp and not only is the lamp amazing, but it makes me look like I know how to decorate and have a green thumb.  The Tiffany Style Pedestal Lamps are show stoppers in a home and with a gorgeous plant placed on top,  this is one of the coolest corners in my home.
