Tea Scented Candle – Make Me A Cuppa

The Lamp — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:40:36 +0000

I love a good old cuppa and who doesn’t? well ok there may be a few people out there that don’t like a cup of tea. The worst time of day is in between cups of tea especially in the morning. So the best way to remind yourself of the fragrance of your favorite cuppa is to use this Tea scented candle.

So the only smell is not tea , but this Black Tea candle has a rich and dark scent of musk, bergamot, pine and tea. That sounds lovely to me. I wonder if they do one with milk and two sugars.

The candle complete with holder and a burning time of 40 hours can be yours for £18.00 from Utility Design

The Lamp — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:17:56 +0000

At Homecheeq we like to bring you a vast array of products that we think are great. They could range from the everyday homeware store type products to something truly unique like this chandelier from Tigermoth Lighting

The chandelier is made up of hundreds of individual strands of black oxidized chain, which according to the website means it can cast a hundred different shadows which are never the same due to the nature of the chains moving in the breeze.

It sure does look good and can be custom made in 6 weeks if you are willing to part with £1,498.00 – £1,698.00 depending on the size of product you want.

Egg Candleholders Really Catch The Eye

The Lamp — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:05:09 +0000

Michelle Mason has designed these simple but elegant candle holders, they give a real sturdy feel to the whole candle holding business (if there is such as thing). What I mean is there is no sense of the candles being delicately balanced, and the design is great too, slightly space aged (because they remind me of the eggs from the Aliens films) .

The website says you can watch the candles drip like egg yolk , you would of course need yellow candles but I get the idea now , quite clever really.

Sold as a pair: Large Egg 15cm (h,) Medium Egg 12 cm (h) – £69.75 , more info here

Yellow on the inside with one hell of a design glow the Can table lamp looks absolutely stunning, with a price of £333.00, it is one for the high end market. But not one being one to shudder at mere cost I thought I would share this with you.

85 Lamps Shine Bright

The Lamp — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:54:22 +0000

Lighting is something that can make a real difference to any room in a home. This amazing piece of design and workmanship from scp.co.uk combines 85 bulbs to form one chandelier. It’s amazing how all those wires avoid being tangled. I’ve not really seen anything like this simple concept before. Great for any Living Space, I’d avoid high ceilings though as there won’t be many volunteers wanting to go up there and change a few of those bulbs.
