Going For The Bold & Gold: Bedroom Color & Wall Lamps
I’ve always loved the look of wall sconces but in full transparency adding additional hard wired electrical was not really an option for us living in a 100 year old house with lath, plaster, etc. So the next best option was to find a wall lamp that had a clear cord we could minimize the appearance of a cord at all.

And bonus it gives us a large open space here in the center of the dining room that for so long was crowded with this table and chairs. However, so many people have since asked…but what about the chandelier in the middle of the room?
