I think one of the easiest ways to update a room is to change out the lighting. I always hate to see brand new furniture next to an oversized, dusty table lamp from forty years ago. I love to change out accessories because it is such an inexpensive way to add a new theme or feeling to a room. I can’t change out the furniture whenever I want, but I can update the accessories to make a room feel more current. I was recently in a national store, you know the kind that sells everything, & I was shocked at how much money they were asking for just a cheap looking lamp, then I understood why people seem to hang onto their lamps for so long. It can be very expensive & frustrating to find a table lamp if you don’t know where to shop. I saw a beautiful Quoizel Lamp at Barnes & Wagner Fine Lighting & was very surprised to see the price for the amazing quality lamps, as well as all of the selection of every kind of lamp, sconce, & light you could possibly need. It makes shopping for lamps a much easier experience.
