Look at all that lava!

Interesting report about hacking "smart homes", but check it out to see all the lava lamps the homeowner has!

Nope, not just you.  Every house I see that has a built-in ledge I wonder if it has plug-ins ran to it.  Or a mantle.  Or, or, or . .  :)

Is it just me, but whenever there’s a home makeover or nosey arse show on TV, I look to see where I would display my Lava lamps and Aquariums ?

[Marley's Ghost]

You're not by yourself, Pete.  I do it too, I didn't have anywhere to put all my lamps in one place.   I think removing some books from the top shelves in my loft, and putting the lamps there will solve my lack-of-space problem.   But there is only two electrical outlets up there, so I'll have power strips everywhere.  If we ever built another house, I'd make sure to build the perfect "lamp" spot, but that's not likely to happen.

Libby, once you get your lamps in the loft just like you want then your "new" lamps that you buy will start getting put all over the house again!  lol

That crossed my mind, Keith.....EEKKK   Is their a pill for this addiction?   I'm still going to leave a few down here in the great room for our viewing enjoyment, and that will give me a bit more room.  Oh gosh, my husband is going to start tossing lamps out the door.  lol

The only one that worries me is... where will I display a Lunar ! they need space man !

[Marley's Ghost]

I just wish I had a Lunar to display!!   One of the smaller ones, not that humongeous bottle one.  But both are large lamps from what pictures I have seen.

I love the Lunar Libby... my home is too small to display one as they should be.... shoot em up !!!

[Marley's Ghost]

I really like the looks of them too, Pete.  I've never seen a real one in person though.

Me too Libby , kind of a holy... I  am contented with my Astrolamps, it never gets any better !

 btw is your Avatar a Black Opal ?

[Marley's Ghost]

My Avatar is an 18.30 carat black opal from Lightening Ridge in New South Wales, AU.    A jewelry maker and friend of mine, and his mining partner found it many years ago, and he set it for me and added a 1 carat ruby since it was my Birthday present and that's my Birthstone.  I love opals!!!   

[Aladdin 2 Lava]

What a treasure... The depth and colour of Opals are like looking into a third dimension.

 

 

[Marley's Ghost]

I agree, Pete!!   They are the loveliest gemstones on earth.   I'd rather have them than a handful of diamonds.
