I concede that decor and decoration is a very personal matter. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. It's true that people tend to find different things interesting. But there is a fine line where something turns from interesting and unusual to wacky and just plain weird. Here are my picks for the top twelve wackiest products that people use to light up their homes and their lives. Do you think these are wacky or wondrous?
"This fully-realized Knight in shining armor is complete to the last detail and stands ten inches tall." BUY IT HERE
"All the fun of an aquarium, without having to worry about your fish dying. These fish are easy to care for. Just plug them in and watch them swim. Realistic movement in front of a changing background."See it here.
"Straight from the classic film A Christmas Story, this is the official replica Leg Lamp. It's a leg, it's a lamp, it's funny, and you NEED one." BUY IT HERE
"This unusual 12" tall metal lighthouse lamp has three candle arms. It is painted gold with red detail. The very top comes off to replace the "beacon bulb" when necessary. The switch is nestled in among the rocks on the base."See it here.
What more could you ask for in a table lamp? The Diva Lamp's studs and skins take you to the wild side. See it here.
"With its Bakelite black box, toggle switch, mirror top, dimmer knob (a factory replacement for a Fender Telecaster guitar) and bulbs that evoke the vacuum tubes of high-end amplifiers, this lamp was designed as a tribute to high-end audio amplifiers."See it here.
