Wall Sconces and Candle Holders for Your Home Decor
I once rented an apartment that had electric light wall sconces. It was an ancient building, a real architectural antique. I loved those wall sconces; they were beautiful and really lit the room well. I miss them.
I miss them because they were my “first”. Today I have sconces on my walls – but in a twist of fate I decided to go non-electric! It started out innocently enough…
I’d decided to go all-out for an anniversary with my Significant Other, and wanted to try my hand at romance. Now, romance isn’t something that comes naturally to me so I did a little research and turned first to candles.
Obvious and easy choice, but I was concerned about the safety factor. After all, I planned to have those candles burning at a time I wouldn’t be paying any attention to them. And you guessed it: that’s when I discovered wall sconces for candles! Not only are they a safe alternative to candles sitting on flat surfaces but they’re also permanent – you can be romantic any time. (Did you know you can get silk rose petals to scatter for those special anniversaries?)
So that’s what started it. The next set of sconces was premeditated: when I was looking for sconces to match our bedroom decor I found these really crazy, really cool sconces and couldn’t forget them. I started looking around the house for a place they’d look great – so of course they’re hanging right there in the downstairs bath. (Did you know burning candles eliminates unpleasant bathroom odors?)
Then we had this great Mystery Party – you know, everyone comes in costume, plays out a mystery and guests have to guess who the villain is. We wanted “mysterious” candle lighting at the front entry, but without the danger of lighting a guest’s costume on fire. Enter more wall candle sconces! We love the lighting so much we use them all the time when we’re expecting guests.
Of course the dogs were responsible for the next wall sconce purchase. They love spending evenings with us on the deck, but those tails are dangerous! We were having so much fun with our other new wall sconces we decided to put them on the deck too, and now enjoy lit candles well out of the reach of those wagging tails.
Our neighbors caught the wall sconce craze and they’ve even attached some to trees in their yard – well below any branches of course!
We’re not sure where the next wall sconce location will be, but we’re keeping our options open. I just saw some candle sconces done in a mosaic that would look great somewhere…
