Because we often get up in the middle of the night...
we have overnight guests who may need to get up in the middle of the night...
and
especially when we hear those occasional scary bumps in the night...
These are a few of the reasons why I have little lamps here and there through out the house!
This little silver lamp sits on top of our television in the den. I found it at an antique store and thought it was a deal for only $13!
There is a little candlelight behind Mr. Rooster who's home is in the kitchen.
On a desk in one of the downstairs hallways sits this little blue & white lamp. A $2 garage sale purchase...I was h-a-p-p-y to find it!
This lamp adds a nice touch to the counter in the downstairs guest bathroom.
This candle light adds a warm glow on this bookshelf. It is only a 6 watt bulb but adds just the right amount of light...in the middle of the night!
And this little lamp has a home on the hall tree in the front foyer, so anytime we head downstairs there is a soft glow to light our way.
We don't ever have to turn on a light and we like it that way!
So, where in your home do you have a little lamp love?!

Cindy you have such a pretty collection of little accent lamps. I am just like you and have little lamps all around I think it is much more cozier then turning on bright lights.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and every photo has a lovely warmth about it. Makes me want to step into the photo.

cindy I really enjoyed looking at your collection of little lamps, It's so true they make everything feel more cozy, I really like the one that look's like a teapot.Beautiful as usually.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I love lamps and lamp light. As soon as it starts getting dark I go around and turn them all on. The two in the kitchen stay on all the time except when we go to bed. I hate overhead lights.
ReplyDeleteYour little lamps are so pretty Cindy. I have them throughout my house too and love the little bit of light that comes from them. I really hate having dark corners. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Love all your lamps, I also have lamps throughout the house that I leave on..I love lamplight and I like the light it gives us during the night...I use low wattage bulbs for the lamps I leave on all night...Enjoyed my visit, see ya again..
ReplyDeleteCindy, these are all so pretty! I have little lamps all over, as well...the powder bath, the kitchen counter, the hallways, the foyer. It's just nice to have the path lit, wherever you go. I also just love the glow in the evenings.
ReplyDeleteI can see I need a little lamp love myself. I think I'll keep my eyes open at the thrift store for some little lamps. Yours are adorable. Patty
ReplyDeleteI love all of your little lamps Cindy and have tons at my house too! So many that my friends tease me a little bit. :-) I just love that soft light though and can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteVanessa
I love all your needlework Cindy! The silver lamp is really pretty, and you got the blue and white one for a steal. I need to shop where everyone else online does because we don't see prices like that on good stuff. Nice to see a new post, and hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteToo often I get up in the middle of the night, stumbling around until I find a lamp or light switch, I like your idea of leaving a small light on. Loving the lamp in the front foyer. Diane
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of my friend Corinne. She has pretty little lamps around her home, and she turns them on every evening. I love yours, Cindy. They are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWe have too many of these can lights around here. I wish we didn't, and had more of the romantic little lamps.
xoxoxoox,

ReplyDeleteI love all of your lamps and they are displayed so beautifully. Small lamps make such a huge statement tucked into different vignettes. Yours are wonderful. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection of little lamps you have, they all look so quaint. I had more little lamps sitting around, until my teenage daughter didn't think it was necessary. Well guess what, some of them are coming back out :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and am now a follower.
Cindy you sure do have a collection of the sweetest little lamps. I used them too tucked in little vignettes here and there throughout my home.
ReplyDeleteNice to know I'm not the only lamp fanatic in the world. I love lamps and I think a room looks more inviting with a little lamp or two.
ReplyDeletePat
Cindy, What a very pretty post! You little lights are all lovely. But your silver lamp is my very favorite. I just love its worn shine. Beautiful lofted on a stack of books.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired to look for places for little lamps!
Yvonne
Your little lamps are darling. Your house is so pretty, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteI have a night light in the kitchen that glows at night and a small lamp that sits on my counter and I turn it on at night. It keeps my kitchen dimly illuminated at all times.
Hugs, Cindy
I love that silver lamp! Lamps create such nice ambience. You have so really pretty ones.
ReplyDeleteLove your lamps, such a great collection too! I have a rooster lamp on my kitchen counter for a night light!
ReplyDeleteAll of your lamps are pretty, but I LOVE the silver one in the first photo. Good find!
ReplyDeleteI have a little lamp made from a silver plate tea pot. I love how it glows on our kitchen hutch.
ReplyDeleteThat silver lamp is gorgeous and was wonderfully priced. I buy lamps all the time, keep some and sell some. I have a spare shades closet, I am that bad.
ReplyDeleteThat blue and white lamp is a 2$ purchase! What a win. I love your house as well. Little lamps are definitely necessary.
ReplyDeleteThe lamps are like the jewelry to an outfit! All so lovely and with such character! Christie at threepixielane Coming over from WOW us WEd!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lamps! Especially love the first one!
ReplyDeleteYOur accent lamps really are beautiful
ReplyDeleteEvery piece have their own beautiful character.

I love lamps too! They had such warmth. Your $13 is amazing! Simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow ! i love all your lamps! I need some new ones! Thaanks for sharing JoAnn
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love all of your lamps. Seriously? Only $2 for that blue and white lamp?? That was a steal!
ReplyDeleteI also have little lamps around the house.
I've got one in the kitchen that stays on 24 hours a day; one in the living room; each of the three bathrooms have a small lamp; and there's one in the landing upstairs.
What a pretty collection of little lamps you have. I think the silver one is my fav. I have them all over my house too. Some of them stay on all the time and others are attached to timers. Take care.
ReplyDeleteAmazing little lamps! Lovely warm glow! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
I love all of your little lamps and I do like lamps here and there throughout the house -- they are great ways to shed a "little"light here and there!
ReplyDeleteI bet you have great ambiance in your house. I love your little lamps! My favorite would have to be the first one--very unique! I have a few lamps, but I could use a few more.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely collection of lamps. Personally, they make a house feel homey and comfortable :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I'm a new follower and also share your feeling about having lamps to guide our way at night. In fact, I love lamps and really believe if anyone can count all their lamps on one hand...it's time to go shopping for more lamps! I love bringing an old lamp back to life!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Hope you will drop by for a visit.
Hello Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI came upon your blog today and I love your style. I have gotten on the blog-reading bandwagon lately and I must tell you that the posts of your home stands out among so many others. First of all, your house looks like someone actually lives in it...I mean that as a total compliment! Many other homes are truly beautiful but yours actually looks like "home" and not a model that you just admire from a distance. It is so comfortable and cozy and your style is a lot like what I have in my own home. It crosses over the boundaries of traditional, Victorian and cottage coziness (that's my description :). Like you, small little love lamps are also something I collect and am drawn to! And roosters as well! I'm glad I found you and looking forward to following you.
