Why a Crab Lamp?

A few years ago, my wife and I were at a trade show and saw these really cool accent lamps. They were mostly animal lamps like dogs, birds, butterflies, turtles, and more. Some were really big. They had two lamps that were just over three feet tall! But the lamp that caught my eye was a beautiful Crab Lamp.

It is just so cool. And isn’t that the whole point to decorating? I’ve must have read close to 100 articles on decorating the past two years. I’ve learned a lot about how to be tasteful, coordinated, and most of all to be careful to keep the room in balance. I’m a guy. I like a room to look cool. I’m not too concerned about “balance” or being coordinated. I just want the stuff in the room to look good together and state my personality. And this is why “I love me some Crab Lamp!” They’re just cool.

Crab Lamps not only look good, they’re also useful. Besides being a conversation piece, they’re great as nightlights. But, you must be careful that ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends don’t take your Crab Lamp with them when they finally leave!  They also make the absolute best wedding and birthday gifts.  Just don't try and pass them off as a gift for some little kid (under 5).  They either want a doll, a truck, a ball or a puppy, but not a Crab Lamp.

Crab Lamps aren’t for everyone. Some people are mermaid people while others would perhaps like a Dog Lamp better. Whatever your taste, pick something that you think is really cool. After all, isn’t this the point of decorating?
