Fun DIY Idea

This just popped up on my Google reader.  What a fun idea!

This would be perfect for adding some personality to a kid's room or a game room.

Plumen Bulbs

Wow.  Can a light bulb be sexy?  Because these are just about the sexiest light bulbs I've ever seen.

Plumen Compact Fluorescent Bulbs

And they're energy efficient too - Plumen claims that this bulb uses 80% less energy and lasts 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

Friday Lottery List

I've been researching desk lamp options because I have my own desk now and Mr. CP has taken our existing lamp to his studio. So this Friday, my picks are a a couple fancy LED lamps:

Tizio LED Table Lamp at Room and Board

Brazo Table Lamp at Design Within Reach

LED lamps are pricey and for many of the models out there, you can't switch out the LED light in the same way you switch out a halogen bulb.  Once the LEDs are done, you might have to replace the whole lamp.  However, LED lights supposedly can last for over 10 years and are more environmentally friendly because they use less energy than more traditional lighting options, so some people argue that the investment is worth it.  They're also pretty cool to the touch, so no pesky fire hazards to worry about.

The Lottery List

What is the Lottery List?  Friday is the day of the week where we here at ChunkyPineapple pick something that we lust after BIG TIME but can't really justify on a normal person's budget.  Then, we go buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket after work in hopes of a change in fortune.  ;)

My first lottery list pick is these Lolita Suspension Lamps by Moooi.

They are all at once simple and modern while also being fun and flirty in their own way.  They seem to look best when hung as a set of more than one, especially if you mix up the colors.

Too bad they cost a small fortune.  Sigh...
