Lighten the mood

Antique lamps have a way of giving a home more character. The soft light a lamp creates is really something special. I love curling up on a stormy night with my throw and some soft light. All kinds of lamps on second-hand sites like Gumtree sell for as little as $10. While there, keep an eye out for hat racks that can be sold for around $10 and add extra character at a low price. Also, haggle! You never know – you could be taking that $10 lamp home for $5.
