Beautiful Floor Lamps that Complement any Home Décor
For centuries, home owners have enjoyed distinguishing themselves from one another through decorating their homes with furniture and accessories that express their personal taste. Home decoration has become a cornerstone in today’s modern consumer market. One traditional piece of home décor that never goes out of style is the floor lamp. Ranging from the inconspicuous to the ostentatious, there is a floor lamp to complement any home décor. Tall and slim, floor lamps offer a perfect blend of practicality and style.
Floor lamps come in a variety of sizes and styles, making it easy to find one that matches your personal taste in décor. One of the most popular floor lamp materials is stained glass. And when it comes to finding a wide assortment of stained glass floor lamps, look no further than the Style @ Home with Margie Collection. This collection has a floor lamp to complement nearly every decorating style imaginable! The Lilydale Side-Arm Floor Lamp depicts an idyllic meadow and has an ornate scroll work side arm design. Olive’s Green Stained Glass Floor Lamp has an astounding 921 individual pieces and depicts white flowers and orange dragonflies across a brilliant green background.
A different style of stained glass floor lamp is the torchiere. Torchieres tend to be slightly taller and thinner than regular stained glass lamps. Their glass shades also tend to end in an upward, fluting design, rather than the standard lampshade shape. Here again, Margie Commerford has brought us an exquisite collection of lamps to choose from in her Style @ Home with Margie Collection. The Solera Torchiere & Table Lamp Set offers two elegant lamps that provide a warm light through their tan, ivory and amber stained glass.
A table and floor lamp set guaranteed to liven up any room it’s in; the Costanza Table Lamp & Torchiere Set is adorned with gorgeous pink floral arrangement. With a combined 987 individual pieces, this lamp set is an example of intricate craftsmanship.
Some stained glass floor lamps are decorated more whimsically or extravagantly, making them ideal for someone with an avant-garde decorating style. The Camirillo Floor Lamp is unparalleled in its detail and color, boasting 582 pieces of glass. Encompassing nearly every color in the spectrum, this stunning lamp is sure to liven up any room. The dark greens of the Pristine Stained Glass Floor Lamp draw your eye downward, to a sleekly-designed stand and a classically-designed base.
If you aren’t necessarily interested in a stained glass floor lamp, there are a number of other different styles from which to choose. The Golden Diva Floor Lamp, at five feet tall, is a marvelous choice for almost any style of home décor. With a regal golden tone and a burgundy brocade shade, it adds an understated feel of aristocracy to any room graced with its presence.
The “Simply Irresistible” Floor Lamp is a model with more of a modern flare. Its polished silver base is uniquely sculpted and complements the exciting design of the lamp shade. If you are looking for a lamp with a distinctly European look, then the Beaded Parisian Side-Arm Floor Lamp might be just for you. With over 500 pieces of individual cut glass and an intricate wrought iron-style side arm, this lamp is ideal for a den, sitting comfortably next to your favorite reading chair.
Are you looking for a floor lamp, but want one with a style all its own? There are many stained glass floor lamp designs that diverge from the expected. However, many of them tend to be shorter than standard floor lamps and torchieres. For example, at 45 inches tall, the Vineyard Escape Floor Lamp is shorter than most other floor lamps but offers rich and brilliant color from its almost vase-like design and beautiful depiction of a vineyard. The “Floral Window” Floor Lamp looks more similar to the standard floor lamp design, but its shade offers six arched windows that shine with radiant color. At four feet in height, the Coliseum Vase Lamp is a decadently designed piece, complete with over 1,800 individual pieces of glass. Unique lamps like these are certain to make a visual statement in any room.
Floor lamps offer diverse choices to consumers. They can range in price from very opulent to quite practical, and can vary in style from classical to cutting edge. The quality of floor lamps and number of choices available to shoppers has never been better, ensuring that for whatever style of home décor you are shopping for, you can bet that the perfect floor lamp for it is right around the corner.

I want to make grilled burgers at home that taste like the ones at the BBQ restaurants .?
How do I make my burgers taste like that at home so I can make them all the time without wasting a ridiculous amount of money every time I want a good burger?
Here are some great burgers for you to check out. Enjoy! <3
Miami Burger
Bobby Flay
“Turning this Cuban specialty into an American one isn’t hard to do: just replace the roasted pork with a good old hamburger. Pressing the assembled burger not only yields a crispy toasted bun, but also ensures that all of the elements meld into one cohesive, mouthwatering sandwich.”
Ingredients:
1 pound ground chuck (80% lean) or ground turkey (90% lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
4 hamburger buns, split
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
4 thin slices smoked ham
2 dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Preparation:
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers, using the oil. Remove the burgers to a plate.
Combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with the mayonnaise and the mustard. Place a slice of cheese on each bun bottom, place a burger on top, and then top the burger with a slice of ham, another slice of cheese, and some pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.
Cook the burgers on a sandwich press or wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over high heat (put a heavy skillet on top of the burgers to press them) until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 1½ minutes per side. Serve immediately.
Jucy Lucy
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef (80-85 percent lean)
6 slices American cheese
6 hamburger buns
steak seasoning
Optional toppings: pickle slices, fried onions
Preparation:
Preheat grill to 400°F.
Divide beef into six portions. Roll one portion of meat between hands, working it together to create a tightly formed ball (the beef should not be crumbly). Divide ball in half, forming one half into another ball and then flattening it into a large circle on a cutting board (should be larger than the bun size, as the beef will shrink a bit during cooking).
Fold one slice of American cheese into quarters and arrange the cheese in the center of the beef, overlapping the slices a bit to leave the beef edges exposed. Roll the other half of the beef into a ball and flatten into a circle the same size as the first, then lay it onto top of the cheese. Pinch the edges of beef together, sealing all holes. You will have a lump in the top of the patty where the cheese lies inside. Repeat with the rest of the beef to create six lucy patties into total. (Burger patties can be made in advance and then refrigerated until ready for grilling.)
Place burger patties on grill, pocket of cheese side up. Sprinkle each patty with steak seasoning. Close lid and grill for 8-9 minutes, then flip burgers. Pierce each patty once with a sharp knife to let out the steam from the melting cheese. Close lid and continue cooking 7-8 minutes longer. At this point, you can either move the patties to a low heat on the grill to keep until ready to serve or pull them off onto a clean plate and cover with foil.
Assembly:
If serving with optional toppings, lay pickle slices on bottom half of bun, followed by fried onions and then one jucy lucy patty and the top of the bun.
Note: The cheese inside a jucy lucy is extremely hot. Let burgers rest for a couple minutes before eating.
Extra Good Burgers
There's no excuse for merely slapping a patty of fresh ground beef on the grill when you can just as easily throw a few things in it and get something that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil or a few squirts of cooking spray
1/2 onion, chopped
1 lb. ground meat (turkey or beef)
1 large egg, beaten
2 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
Preparation:
Preheat broiler and oil broiler pan (with olive oil or cooking spray). In a small pan, saute onion in olive oil or cooking spray till soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl combine ground meat, cooled onion, egg, parsley, garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Mush it around with a wooden spoon or your hands till well mixed. Form into 4 patties and broil 4 inches from the heat until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If you are lucky enough to have a grill and an outdoor space, obviously dispense with the broiling and head out to the grill with your manly tools and a glass of wine. Yield: 4
