Lighting up the Buffet

At this time of year many of us turn our attention to the dining room since that is where most of the family dinners will be! I will be the first to say I LOVE decorating dining rooms, it's a room I usually encourage the homeowner to stretch themselves in. For instance if they are nervous about using a dark paint color in other rooms suggest we take the leap in the Dining Room. Today I want to focus on the fabulous addition of buffet lamps.

With endless lighting options you now see many people stray from the norm of "candlestick" buffet lamps for something much more dramatic as in these oversized lamps! Don't you just love the way they steal the spotlight?

  

What type of lighting do you have on your sideboard or buffet?
