In honor of Mr. Edison!

 

It’s no secret that as a science teacher, I should adore Thomas Alva Edison, and I do. I especially adore his namesake, the Edison bulb. The classic, timeless, and industrial nature of the bulb really strikes my fancy.

Recently, I purchased a couple industrial lamps using Edison bulbs. The glow given off by each is amazing.

I found this beauty for less than $60.00 online at Cost Plus World Market. It looks great on the parlor secretary. It adds a welcoming masculine touch.

The second lamp, faceted bulb lamp, and bulb was purchased from the newly opened Magazine Street location of West Elm. I like it on the den shelves. Perfect.

Edison, y’all!
