These green ideas are truly bright!  I didn’t realize being green can be so chic and even quirky.  Check out these ingenious lamps I found at Inhabitat.com :

These beach ball lamps are so much fun to look at!

Perfect for an eco-friendly, urban space, the eggcrate lamp.

I’ve always wondered what I can do with old, non-functioning light bulbs.

I’ve thrown one too many Tupperware pieces, but the makers of these lamps found a fascinating way to reuse them.

I hope this lamp is for outdoor use.

This looks vintage & I love it!

These lamps definitely fascinates me. It takes being green to the next level!

I like the color purple, I feel that it is a shade that is not widely used and it should be. Purple and plum shades denoter rich earthly feelings in me and I can see why it is historically the color of royalty.

Check out the funky purplish-blue glass pairs with a brushed nickel finish to give this lamp panache. The Plum Crazy Table Lamp is featured on Bellacor and made in the good ol’ U.S. of A.

I am a huge supporter of paper lanterns. There was a time when assorted shapes and colors of paper lanterns hung from my vaulted ceiling in college. They hung at different lengths and really seemed to float.

The effect I was striving for was magical with a touch of whimsy. Suffice to say I received plenty of compliments on my creative genius by visitors and guest alike. I was a novice interior designer on a shoestring budget.

Well the shoestring budget part has changed very little over the years. Which is why I more than anyone appreciate deep discounts and a SALE! The oriental style paper lamps are offered at JCPenney in 4 colors: hot pink, orange, turquoise and white. What I am envisioning is that you can use them a multitude of ways

• use them to brighten your room or your kid’s room
• use them to decorate your Holiday parties or New Year’s shindig this year
• give them as a gift!

They are currently on SALE from $29.99 to $14.99!!
