<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Mix things up this holiday season by introducing black and white into your Christmas color palette. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrvSGVNZYQmWamFpfSkchPh-8uY3JWSTPwgg13dJ5Hxw0z9EZkhhbi3_A03LLWahgdJw2VG3Mf6NY_2dEgeDuUEcX89PnNPIqMq-OxMLcDdZVCMjlKuwGvT3KviRTNsr_-w0TUOJQc9Y/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Design Star season 7 contestant Britany Simon and designer Brian Patrick Flynn worked together to add an updated, graphic look to an Atlanta home's traditional holiday decor by including strong, contrasting elements of black and white. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi5c3oCpTs_G_ig8fVRIeix2bNuaw2zhol1c3WaN-LPbMmSvh0h3D7hnT7BRH4v2LywOW5NN8KsScBP2CGOihI5a-Si05nqocoTUNqVX5CyVQem0CEgxwTTXCXFOwDaLvZVtG4Zdt9X9E/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From the over scale fabric poinsettias on the Christmas tree to the mix of black-and-white wrapping paper prints, the color combination makes its way around the living room in both a strong and subtle manner. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjux4FcYHImDC43HHgwCOD91CdTwFTShgKCYmWYhDt54IwV1bvcLRsKu0Zhd6tTWBL5eKmFXxYeEwb1yspve632SAXrkrrLKzc6oS17AhBCLzZRMaf6fx9-d4Mob-K2WruZwsseuDy1Eg/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Designers often add both graphic appeal and colorful updates to hardback books by covering the books with coordinating fabrics. To incorporate black, white and red into the living room, each book was covered with stripes and gingham. By keeping the palette holiday centric, but using patterns meant for year-round use, this ensures the books can remain out once the holidays have passed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmt3f6u4_RPh1vdCwNKx6Uu3ZUFqGDyyaSimxDFlNc533urH2S_nFHbO8zHPNWpF4pKqt6dRr1NUF0HrZI_0c9ZbvKDYB18uqTuUozHP7jXZ67nI_7-3pDFF9pKwQX0W2BQUMZ7_E24hk/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To add holiday flair to the living room's year-round sofa, pillows and throws are layered on and the end tables are decorated with ornaments for a festive, seasonal touch. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivj_Yh8jtd-Ty5OBXV5ctDmjUZ07GMNFPO20AmckNJMpLUyjUdZepaIm_VKJOc8N_6NzZ_LX0O-liU8mG1TtzxTRoiv4nBgNkrLD5Grvexq80HZ4VVxcFNGHBFaT2cQ1dHxY6x4pQiA2Q/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Throw pillows are an instant way to add holiday flair to your furniture. As the holiday season rolls in, this living room's sofa is given a quick and easy Christmas makeover with large metallic silk pillows paired with smaller ones featuring a wintry red, white and black plaid pattern. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2j4R1CUd9aOFa4kHtTujjHQjb2LfyC7PD8-oXsEC2h-6oEovNu16wmPgUi3Mc6OS0hsucgQXHZFSUjwflqSASjZYc56Wxr31Z7-mPWU52_mufMcc6NkLQGLrMjvuvLE-PGMnyP49K6Y/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fillable clear glass lamps offer the opportunity to change up the look of your task lighting seasonally. In order to bring black, white, red and metallic flair to this living room's pair of lamps, an off white drum shade with a thin band of black detailing was added. The glass body was filled with a combination of red, gold and silver ornaments. Once the holidays pass, the lamps can instantly take on everyday appeal by switching the ornaments out for something different. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SbPqdeqBQSwUswnjb0DOEezHlPZ2m59LoZXCCwOomTtykT2t0tjWRdnd8VLB38gfRl_a8suDdGVugT4_64RjArZ2DdLHk8UqycLb-zY75-zK3EvsEYyJR_p62XBYPerGaLBXq9BlWiM/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tree skirts offer another opportunity to play with black and white through pattern. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, it's likely the tree skirt will remain bare and you'll be able to see it more clearly. Once covered up with gifts, the skirt will lose its presence. Consider using black mixed with another holiday accent color, then bringing in accents of white through wrapped gifts. This will ensure that your skirt will still remain part of the overall design. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXg8PRaCxnTzjWRd5YPMiEvYEjSVppiphQJK5P0A5P72rbmC-78ZXmKtEOIf_DUa6kJ9tEr8z1C_3k_Ijn2okX_PUr51qVgwznHlDWsBX97KW-a3fw4ypV-_vqVjV8qPeaz6MRMHuEs8/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When updating your holiday palette with black and white, it's not necessary to stick with black and white prints specific to the holidays. To dress up this wingback chair, a red and white check pillow was paired with a graphic black and white throw blanket. This look also works for everyday use. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pd2RIjvA0WFiYT7HA_J-NUeARqF4fW0k4B3b24BMZWWLdCBuByMB1Yt5T5X-nBjCqP7TgEE1uBhb3DGeN7MhIEUueMxp1jfbOwEz26cRZGNhueb5YTrNedqjkaJS5ha1638bVEwjZNE/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This fireside gift wrapping area continues the black and white theme from the floor to the fireplace and into the Christmas tree thanks to a graphic rug, handmade stockings and a tree decorated mostly with black and natural-toned ornaments. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBrVguIC1PLUbbklZAo-bbOJ9oHqBV6lIsS20Cmtpk-rOsXEwh1OSTQKjF3YaumnK-NaKN0uZPWFkptlqNDDajl1GcaWusaYPZ8J8jB4Wsay5re20AAfPEDxTGlKh7nZqMHiVmqAqLD0/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When it comes to choosing a holiday tree skirt that's a bit less expected than those featuring reindeer or snowflakes, consider plaid or tartan. Not only do plaids and tartans evoke a wintry feeling, but they also bring in a masculine touch which can keep your overall holiday decor as appealing to men as it is to women. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzn8Evg3FWbwsSMhUIWcBbM1DnybDb3Rx-6BdfYDySh1yKeFUsWJ6LVRNa5IQ4I5sZ3O2-XODE4mxBGBG6KobrGGwmzwIULKLs03DbVhL0_bn35lq8Rq0HB_U1QvhpLmSmHd-WvL-vkZ8/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since the gift wrapping area was designed to be heavy on black and light on white, the tree is dressed mostly with black and natural toned ornaments. This results in a more subtle aesthetic. The played down approach allows the room's main feature, a lighting installation piece over the mantel, to remain the focal point of the space. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFKwpsNlxyd15ho7o_jAcAYQBBKlY4j9WOtD359I01GNHbUK5mU4NbRN6S7y6V-CPTpX_VGtDmLmN9BQ_AZSiNJer__PbVYWjGkVm6Ulsr2Ko6cMoo4KsTz9mm4IVhrhPNk4v91coYqo/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For strong, graphic impact, Britany created a lighting installation from three cardboard letters and industrial globe string lights. Once illuminated, the trio of letters instantly becomes the room's main focal point. To balance the intensity of the bright white, black was used heavily in other areas to keep the color scheme balanced. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWu8TDDOO0Nzz8o0gk5TlI8uw5Gk3vfRzE6Ve2IYZ85iPgrdQaCbRqoiddHYt9lBBIgt3ZtddvWGTv1xrJ2DvZ_CG1c0_7xGNKncXCDim6Zh06Xcoqti0DH6IN7toYGiH9SReB4pcuOX8/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A little bit of black and white goes a long way. Britany had four custom stockings made for Mom, Dad, daughter and son each featuring a subtle or strong use of black and white. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4pWa7E5VwVQgZD7TlgZGoM2uUuDK27jmvntOrMJh4vrs9Pwc1JmIiQmcKluaM7o2_yQc1T8v2WOlSFunMwHnbBlFEcQC4MA-2Nu0nEPewCYs1e7kkevuNQ7bWUvhuienUeZuJLRWqSjs/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In order to add pops of color and black and white on the fireside gift wrapping area's mantel, Britany filled three clear glass apothecary jars with tiny gifts using wrapping paper in shades of red, black and white. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYD54zCMoYovIV-04MV4CYyMnjww4MF5SiPx-P6WlTNxV2VaXR-aVXt6SetHvHGfuzApIKkt6oySxvXrjnzKosyl_XZPuU2FDjy-aU1D3aicy6niPGFD7Zwaex47Qh2Eucufg-EiP88s/s640/Holiday-Decor-With-Black-and-White-2014-Ideas-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dress up your fireplace this season with small cypress or juniper trees in bold colored pots. If choosing a black or white pot, consider adding a few metallic or red ornaments to the tree. Use a red or green pot for a big punch of color, and use ornaments in black or white to keep the color scheme flowing throughout the tree. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

2013 Decorating Direction With Easy Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Give your home an easy update with one of these decorating trends . These ideas are easy to implement and are timeless enough to keep around for more than one season. I hope to be suitable enough for you to begin update your home decor. <br /><div style="direction: rtl;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRdwH8bQSKfGtoO-eDTvWYSXGInqR4noAh0ZaalWl4xEFyamExZD8XphD-WC-htPzg2UnW4XKpuGxOLwq-x67J3hPkeZ8yan2FfKbV6cDXH8FrxVwbo6IXyTXnTVCspHQGK_4UriudpQI/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whether your look is cottage, vintage, modern, or somewhere in between, raw wood can have a place in your decor. Shop architectural salvage stores for pieces to add as accents or to use as shelves or mantels. And you'll find a lot of accessories and accent furniture pieces on the market that are made to look like raw wood, providing another way to capture this hot look. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgblyZMGWrXslccr9PWAt-fDbT8SP2Bif8cwl5cfCAki8GiXHImrMVsm1NB-qEUInCP95TneBzO_zNM5zIhXzyDQu5tlS_Azek9KutmjCIY7j4hccWd2i6tagxGeAX0U8RalYwd3ofmmv0/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For so long, silver and its cohorts have been the first place metal in home decor. But more recently, yellow metals are inching back into the spotlight. Embrace the trend with gold accents that have a little softer finish, rather than metals with a full on shine. And for a less glitzy take, try antique brass finishes, which tend to be more matte. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHW1VvJ0rhE2pmpgIafD_PQqCTYaiSCWIEg_P7LjB9GLp3HNKLuSVYqxCqny_SPPrgSBI2Vy9nwzRGg17u8MzEq_a_cKGilzst67RhZuBGjVEKJcNlKxGL1GarXmZd-bE-pFb00ygKv4/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Forget everything you know about wallpaper. Yes, it can be cringe-worthy, but the market continues to be flooded with more good than bad. With so many colorways, patterns, and styles available, you'll be sure to find something you love now and will love later. Rather than wallpapering a whole room, try it on just an accent wall or in a small space, such as an entryway or powder room. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5tdXjRfRKQHDzP7G7iDCx1rnkfF-vevKhzZMDGr1sZRlnhKnKzqRvIWfW5rbbPcIG-PURBh_hRJ3Y2HBYzxlSri-RMw2zwKH4OaIY6nZKqjdqGr2wLB8iWxRtv7DTwCspFrV-tm4W7M0/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Speaking to both the nautical and industrial design crazes, rope can introduce an earthy texture to a polished room, or it can meld perfectly into a cottage or beach-style space. Look for rope-wrapped accessories, such as this tray, to add to your decor. Or pick up some yardage at your local home center and get creative. For starters, use rope to hang picture frames or display it in a sculpturelike fashion inside a clear cylindrical vase. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibrnIRubBMV6BkBOhKS-XXJXNCN3r3gHxEZjdBuSWMFUUSYL1jd2mhyfbH79yi00mRbe6SG0qudpxI91abe8qjRV7uy24UQLRIKXiSe3hCfJj1o4ax0BVDHbjKMZUsuvB1sfaSXhXYbFs/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">School is in session in the decorating world. Repurposed schoolhouse furniture, beakers used as vases, and vintage flashcards as art will add a bit of flea market whimsy to your home. In this kitchen, an old table mined from a science classroom now serves as a fun island. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3J4aIxMlZTbFCf0VWhX1zoGkbBRXNw8dGoU7QweUxaJBhhVScZx9soldZONBxB91NisgbBH8EjsDMuhtlQr7Oe7wPU_owJ5wJnJR5OaorUfR7QuYnslTRisSWv14X6x96ZXKO2tJkf_E/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's all over Pinterest, and has long been one of our favorite DIY projects: Painted furniture is now taking a new twist. Those old, awful pieces you see sitting forlorn in the corners of secondhand shops are no longer being ignored. Innovative homeowners are seeing past the tacky finishes and dated hardware and, with just white paint, retro (the bad kind of retro) pieces like this sideboard are revived for the 21st century. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1rhYzw4gAySmtjCMWAexrofHpCyCu1VXJ9xkplYax64ICazEcWDI2UFC8NL_bTNb66L9mi_h-eMQRhOWecLaSmBW1T0nnrr53f770uSDFUS0BTZUlioPASPGd9l33bkJ8l9u38toYng/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">These once awful pieces can look gorgeous with more color. Picture this massive buffet with an overbearing honey colored, tiger striped stain. Not so current, right? Soft latte-colored paint brought the piece into a more current state and an extra kick of blue around the frame gives the piece a one of a kind look. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInRiEGIS2PYcH9kZsjOhxekbi5q6IVh8Ed3nmddtp7ODzugKyhL2sMv7Q8w1o-IoInHtAlHqKklELTUKO2iM2eBxldajnDKtS3EvUImyFYLCijPqKJsYTfsMeOeZVVYkiiocmPz_VQ6w/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Soft and romantic, watercolor works as art, but also as a pattern on fabrics and accessories. Plus, it's an easy technique to DIY. Pick up watercolors at a local crafts store and give it a try on lampshades, fabrics, and more. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaKKwSdt8I6A_dgitBbyRkSCpcvc7EJyDE8zXi5QlI6gDtzfpOoj7VPkRu0Mmfn-nF2pFXB0TB21t3-tQ5wJ8d46AmAiKLpXGTvLlBBawO-EcdWv_RvM1m_UEeStZshEcIXD8oErW1L4Q/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From wallpapers to fabrics, lattice or trellis prints introduce sophisticated style inspired by garden settings. The intertwining motif is usually portrayed as a colored pattern on a white background, or the inverse.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A color on color variation takes a more graphic approach to the motif. Try a lattice pattern on throw pillows or window treatments. Or if your really love lattice, use the pattern on your walls via wallpaper or a stencil. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg438qPUDpLpwgDzgvEUFRdQOetzQXMnXUiiECrIAJXCJe8WCdUdrbL_CDTyJibNuAla00uc-Kin2tMM7sKse8Z5v_SAZzX5MCkkzggh6PMzdkfjOeT8JHrgTrMVk0H-KrLgq8Pp6yhfXE/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This look became popular in Europe in the 18th century and is a western interpretation of Chinese motifs and designs. It has since maintained a quiet presence in traditional decor and antique collections. Lately, the style is being brought mainstream. If the look is for you, try adding one or two Chinoiserie pieces, such as a gorgeous painting and a piece of accent furniture, in colors that pick up on what you already have in your room. Here, this ornately carved desk is an interpretation of the style and the pink painted finish gives it a modern update and matches the chair cushion. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5xUY2rpfKnpkLlBkNCSZ_weRVeYg8y08IORxKpzI-cHlhYst5nsdbhCe9ykPhLuXhiepFv9x4PaC7b3B3sQ4-jEHWhWjd6aeRcFPBtRlqwlgPPX8jTjPUA-SVPhwIeZZ6WYr2-CYlBO0/s640/2013-Decorating-Direction-Easy-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Curvaceous and colorful, these gourd-shape lamps add shape and visual weight to side tables and nightstands. They are most commonly found in a solid color, which allows the shape to be the eye-catcher.
