From modern, light-up cube stools to festive string lights to Greek Isle-worthy lanterns, check out my slideshow for lighting ideas that'll keep you and your outdoor space looking sexy into the wee hours of the night.

Nest Style: "Milk Gone Bad" Lamps Are Good Non-Dairy Fun!

When they're turned off, Milk Gone Bad table lamps look like modern, minimalist pop-art sculpture. But when you turn them on, a colorful world of moldy monsters makes the lamps instant conversation pieces. The limited edition lamps are the first partnership between Italian design team Anatomic Factory (they did the milk carton, which ships flat) and illustrator Bombo (the creator of the cute moldy monsters). I ordered one for each of my kids - they'll look perfect in their bedrooms, and the light is so diffuse, they may even work as nightlights. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for all eight versions.

Next Big Thing: Salvadoran Designer Eugenio Menjívar's rECOlector Lamps

You'll never look at an egg carton the same way, at least not if designer Eugenio Menjívar has anything to say about it! I met the 28-year-old "eco-experimental" designer at last week's International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City. And of all the designers showing some truly amazing (and expensive) stuff, Eugenio's ingenious use of the simple egg carton, along with scrap metal salvaged in his home of San Salvador, was the best example I saw of true design melded with our new knowledge that we must conserve our resources now, before it's too late. Click READ MORE for my interview with Eugenio, and SEE SLIDESHOW for more pics from his rECOlector CH07 collection.

10 Ways to Set the Mood With Perfect Bedside Lighting

If you're looking to create perfect bedroom ambiance that's both stylish and functional, it's best to consider your bedside lighting options carefully before you make a purchase. First, measure your bedside table - how small will your lamp base have to be to still allow you room for a magazine or alarm clock? No table? No problem. Sounds like you're in the market for wall sconces, which add an easy level of sophistication to any bedroom. As you're shopping, remember also that you'll want lamps tall enough to throw light down on you while you're reading in bed (lamps that are too squat will do you no good), and you'll want the on-off switch to be within easy reach. So check out my SLIDESHOW of sexy, sleek bedside lighting!
