Decorating with Tiffany Lamps


Tiffany lamps add elegance to any room in your house. There are many types of tiffany style lights ranging from floor, hanging, and table lights. Tiffany lights make wonderful gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, engagements and even for Christmas!


When hired as editorial associate in 1980, I was told by my predecessor, Stewart Trisler, that I wouldn't be coddled. I was in so over my head, professionally, that I quaked over everything. A sideways glance from the boss was the worst. When I fessed up to that, Betty Lou purred, "Why I'm just a little pussycat." This was in the Landmark Building at Third and Liberty, which had once housed the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times. Earlier in her career she'd worked the crime beat for that paper, the first woman ever to do so.In the '70s the now-defunct Old House restaurant was her luncheon habitat, where she dined and drank with the city's businessmen. (By the late '80s it had been replaced by the Galt House.) None of those guys likely downed more martinis than she did.Her husband Junie taught psychology at the University of Louisville. He also was straight out of a Tennessee Williams play - a beatnik with a goatee who wore sandals and was as laid-back as Betty Lou was intense. They were married for 60 years. When I knew them best, they lived in a huge apartment in the Mayflower on Ormsby Avenue, where dinner parties were as colorful as the hosts were. Betty Lou loved to entertain, and the guest list was always diverse - her French dressmaker, Junie's university colleagues, East End grandees, Old Louisville bohemians.

Tiffany style floor lamps come in different types. There are pedestal lamps that would add a romantic flare to your bedroom. These beautifully crafted stained glass panel lamps are wonderful and come in Butterfly and Victorian designs. They are square or round in shape. Torchiere tiffany style lamps are floor lamps that are shaped in torch styles. Floor lamps would light up any dark corner in your house. Whatever your choice, make it for you. These lamps are all beautifully crafted with the highest quality of materials. You will not be sorry when you choose to decorate with one of these wonderful lamps.
