SIN:
What: Fluted Column Torchiere Bronze
Where: Restoration Hardware
How Much: $329.00 (US)
Why: When it comes to going for gold, we're going for bronze (and no, not because we're underachievers). We love this classic design - not only for its simplicity, but also for its ability to transform our living-room from meek to chic with the flick of a switch. The upward facing shade makes for a softer (read: more becoming) glow, and we're in awe of how easily it masks the imperfections on our walls (Paint cracks? What paint cracks?).
SWEET:
What: Debbie Travis Starry-Eyed Torchiere Lamp
Where: Canadian Tire
How Much: $69.99
Why: For easy ambience, we've gone the candle route in the past. But after too many wax-on-the-coffee-table incidents (and one with the smoke alarm) we were happy to discover that this lamp does all the work with none of the hazard. Clean, timeless design serves as an instant conversation piece, while the warm light makes our get-togethers all the cozier. Talk about a bright idea.
