It's a foggy, misty day in Philadelphia. How to brighten the outlook? With the power of electricity and design, of course. Lighting is so important in how a home looks, whether you're trying to sell it or you just moved in. A new place may need completely different lighting depending on your windows and what direction you are facing. We looked to a few well-lit sources for lighting ideas beyond your typical dust-catching chandeliers and table lamps:
Classic Lighting Emporium has moved its Old City location over to Frankford Avenue in Fishtown, and it's the place to be if you're looking for antique lighting from 1860 to 1960. If you have antique lighting and are in need of restoration, this is the spot. Poke around the warehouse and see if you can find something that will light your fire.

Busybee Homestore & Design Center has opened its doors on South St. and they are letting in the light. We spotted some gorgeous arc floor lamps that really shine in larger spaces. We also saw some tall candlestick holders that would bring a warm glow to a long dining table, and plenty of candles so that you can spread the light wherever you wish.

If you're looking for some modern light in your life, then Artemide in Old City has some Fall Specials just for you. Through November 30, a selection of LED, desk lamps, floor lamps, and suspension lights are marked down hundreds of dollars off of the list price.

Christopher & Stephanie,
I agree with you lighting is so important to any home whether its for sale or not. It sets the mood for any room. Most important it is crucial when your home is up for sale and for great looking photos on the MLS. I just love those 3 lights in the first photo!
Nice lamps guys, very modern, sleek and stylish.
