Need to brighten up a room? Better than a lamp may just be a piece of illuminated furniture! As there are plenty of sconces, table lamps, ceiling and floor lamps to wade through in your quest for the perfect one, perhaps thinking outside the conventional lighting department could help. No, don't rip down your curtains. Try instead a table with the glow of a lamp inside, but be warned-- tracking down these fancy furnishings isn't easy as they're certainly a not on top of everyone's list. They are, however, if you're looking to transform your place into a posh pad. Illuminated furniture creates an ambiance unlike that of any spotlight. And, if your lighting concept involves your tabletops, the things that adorn them will see a new light of day. Click through the slideshow for a sample of some shiny surfaces!
Hot In The Hive: The Call-To-Dinner Chandelier

The rustic look has never been my cup of tea when it comes to interior design. While there's nothing wrong with wicker furniture and distressed wood, I have a more sleek and modern taste for home decor. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Call-To-Dinner Chandelier and really liked it! A great look in an open kitchen, the dangling forks and spoons would glint in the light as well as cast interesting shadows throughout the room. If you're anything like me and love a healthy dose of modern design, maybe it's time to bring a little bit of the rustic countryside into your life.
